SMS Challenge on sign-in to Forum this morning

[pgn]

What's the reason for this sequence of transactions needed to sign in to the Forum on laptop earlier, and just now to the web version of My O2 on mobile, @Dave-O2?

SMS lands, after a warning not to share the PIN that is about to arrive...

Something amiss?

Just had it again now logging in on laptop

Seems that I can still log in on my PC @pgn , which may not be affected, but if it starts asking for security codes it may signal the end of my tenure here. I'm sure that would please some, and to be honest, after 14 years maybe it's time. It's been getting OCD for a long time now, and much much worse recently, if you catch my drift.

Well I'm about to log off. If I'm not seen again, you will know the reason why!!

Had the same issue when it came to logging on this afternoon on my laptop.

Simple question - why was no notification of this change posted on the O2 Community ?

The powers-to-be must have known about this for days/weeks/months so why not let us know ?

Any comments @Dave-O2 ?

[Bambino]

Had a PM from mod Daniel earlier, @gmarkj to say @Dave-O2's messages are not getting through at the moment. Don't know if it's been resolved yet.

[gmarkj]

thanks for the heads up @Bambino - let's hope it gets fixed as quickly as the feedback pop up...

[Bambino]

HA!!!!!

[Cleoriff]

Back on about an hour ago. No security required. Lucky me 😂

Well, I have not needed it for the forum since, so p'raps it is a once a day or similar challenge - we shall see.

@madasaf1sh I have a second browser on mobile for MyO2, not needing incognito mode normally.

Sadly, on laptop, Chrome in Incognito mode is it. That said, Sign-In from top right does work ok in that mode, including the challenge - it strips all the huff from the URL, leaving just a nice, simple - https://accounts.o2.co.uk/signin

(unlike clicking MyO2 at top of Community Forum page and opening an incognito window there...).
