Bloodstealer.5978 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Not sure if anyone else is getting this, but when attempting to log into GW2.com and getting to 2-factor authentication, it appears to be only allowing 5 digit codes instead of the 6 digits required.. kinda weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstealer.5978 Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 What on earth is going on with the 2FA..Now after having the above issue resolved it begins to happen again the last few days, so another ticket goes in.So once again I am able to enter the full 6 digit code, but pressing next to authenticate the login system does nothing not even error it simply becomes a dead next step.So ANET thought it wise to remove 2FA without even testing if it can be relinked.. which it cannot because the last step is simply not doing anything.Come on what has happened to 2FAUsing Android and have been since 2FA became a thing on latest Win10 build.

Leablo.2651 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Did you try it with a functional browser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system just wont progress.The 2FA was working perfectly normally when getting into the game, just when trying to log into forums or my Arenanet account this issue gets thrown up.Additionally I ve tried using MS Edge as well as IE.. no dice tho.

Bloodstealer.5978 Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 As a side note.. SMS authentication wont work either when setting up, because it wont send the code :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I'm having issues with my accounts, as well. Different issues, but logging in issues nevertheless.Something has gone wacky, all of a sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is the third issue in as many weeks for me.. first only getting 5 digits on the authentication screen, that gets fixed, does it again, gets fixed and now it does nothing with the codes once they are entered... and it was only for forum/account access the game 2FA was fine.EDIT - Support just got back and said the 2FA process did not clear properly.. so tried relinking --- no dice .. AGAIN!The "NEXT" button does nothing after entering the 6 digit code. Tried so many times now to tell support it is not the applicator that is broke, it seems to me it is the website.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Mine turned out to be the launcher. Don't know why it went all fubar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstealer.5978 Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Lol.. now I am getting a splash screen offering me a min for SMS authentication.. this is getting richer by the minute.If only either options would actually complete the process I would have a new mini perhaps to add to my collection....

Aenaos.8160 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Encountered the exact same issue a couple of days ago.I could enter the authenticator code just fine in the launcher but in the account login authenticator code box,at the site,only 5 digits could be entered.I also got a error message at the top of the web page(on firefox) "some fields are invalid please fix them".I tried various browsers just to be sure.I then contacted support to report the bug,they ended up disabling 2 factor authentication on my account.Afterwards,the first time I tried to enable 2 factor authentication again I could insert the full verification code,all 6 digits,but I still got the error message(the message appeared only on firefox,the other browsers I used appeared to simply stall).Then for some reason(voodoo or aliens) the problem vanished and I was able to go through the process.Now everything works fine again both on the site and the launcher.
