Trouble with Two Factor Authentication

Since the app was updated several days ago, I have not been able to log in. When the two factor authorization screen comes up, it sends a code but the screen freezes and won’t let me type it in. I deleted the app and reloaded with the same result. Anyone else having this issue?

iOS App Freezing

Same problem for me, when the 2FA message arrives the screen freezes with no keyboard shown.

Reinstalling the app doesn’t work.

Last week for a few days I was getting a CAPTCHA in addition to the OTP gate. You know, you're shown 12 pictures and you have to click on the ones with motorcycles and similar. Sometimes I got this once, sometimes it cycled again and I got it twice. Haven't seen this since, though.

And now locked out for 24 hours as I have exceeded my OTP requests!

Interesting. I had too many requests one day last week, and was locked out "until tomorrow", not for 24 hours. It was only about five hours until "tomorrow", then I was able to get back in.

Page still was not loading to allow OTP to be put in. In addition this morning (25/2) the app just says ‘something went wrong try again’, which I have done many times with no solution. Anyone else got this problem?

Update: Dowloaded the most recent app update today (2/26) which fixed the problem for me. Hope it helps others with the same issue.

The last update they released on iOS broke OTP entry completely; they've now issued a patch for it.
