Why doesn't two-step verification work?
I went through the process to set this up twice but it is not showing as selected on my account. I even logged out and back in again, in case that was the problem. But the system did not send me a verification code. To be clear, it sent me one when I was trying to set it up, but verification is not set up. It's a loop, you try to set it up and then it takes you back to the verification setup window. Like Charlie Brown trying to catch the football.

Hey sleepymonk, I hope you're doing well!
Have you tried a different browser when trying to set it up? If not, can you give this a go, and let me know of the results?
Also, did you choose to receive the code via message or the mobile app?
Keep me posted!

I'm using Chrome, so I tried Safari.
It looks like I didn't complete the process. That's because it brings you back to the screen where you type your phone number in. This time I clicked on NEXT and it brought up security codes. I clicked through that and I was able to complete the process and log out. I was sent a text message the next time I logged in.
I chose to receive text messages rather than an app.
It would be less confusing if the screen where you type your phone number in doesn't show up again. That was the problem.
Thanks for your help, Megan.
