Misquesh.9504 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 2FA is acting up. So far I've tried to log-in thrice and received 3 SMS from different numbers. Messages themselves, however, were completely empty - no theme, no code. Should I just go for the good ol' reliable "ayo just wait for a day friend" or is it some kind of known issue that I should actively try to resolve because waiting won't help?

Bloodstealer.5978 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Yep.. Ive already posted about the shenanigans going on with 2FA as well.I use an applicator.. first only 5 of the 6 digits were being accepted on the website, then when that was fixed the "NEXT" button after entering the 6 digits does absolutely nothing.Tried SMS authentication, and don't even get sent an SMS when clicking the "send verification code".. just like with the applicator screen, pressing the final buttons do nothing.Ima thinking the website is messed up.

Misquesh.9504 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Well, I have an update. On the 4th try I received a code. However, the SMS was missing a word "code" itself. Today 3 previous messages "updated" into proper full versions. So I suppose both waiting and trying again works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyndelaq.7148 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 The weirdest thing with me is that I don't use any kind of app or sms on either of my accounts, yet - after the announcement - they both have authentication enabled. I removed the one on my 2nd account, but can't log in to my main account to remove that one which is the account that I ABSOLUTELY want access to! I don't know how 2FA got enabled on my accounts, but I didn't put them there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you don't use the same password for other things either.Send in a ticket to support, with as much detail to can gather on hour account and hopefully they will perform an account rollback to a time you last recall being able to get into the game.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstealer.5978 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Update - my 2FA is once again relinked but the GW2.com site or forums won't allow the completion of the authentification because pressing NEXT after entering the 6 digit code definitely does nothing now when using Internet Explorer.Works fine now with MS Edge...So I am of the mind this loss of functionality of the NEXT button on the GW2.com site has been messed up like other features of late following updates by Vanilla.At least now my account and game access are secured again.
