I have my account set up to receive SMS text authentication codes for Etsy log in (desktop, Chrome browser). I was receiving the texts for a few days, and then I realized that they have stopped. I double checked the setting (it is still toggled ON), logged out and back in and it did not require a code nor did the system send me a code. I turned the setting off, logged out/in, turned the setting back on....and still I am not getting the code and Etsy is allowing me to log in without it...?
(also went into "security" section and signed out of any and all devices.... I only use 1 iphone and one computer, however it showed multiple entries for the same computer and phone that required me to click "sign out" making it seem like multiple sessions; perhaps Etsy is not properly closing and/or logging out when a browser page/window is closed?)
Regardless...if I log out everywhere and have 2 factor authentication set...Etsy should be texting me a code to allow me to log in and that is not happening. Anyone else?
to sign out of etsy, go to bottom left and click "sign out" ... then try it again
I bet if you clear your cookies from Etsy it would trigger a 2FA. I believe that right now you are using a device that has been authorized.
2fa does not happen all the time. It happens when the system no longer recognizes the computer or phone. A computer hiccup. Cleaning cache and cookies. Not using phone or computer for a long time can trigger 2fa to enact.
I have 2fa on other services I use. They kick in when I haven't visited the site in some time. If I have cleaned out cache and cookies. If my computer or ISP has a wonky moment. Otherwise I log in and out with no issue. The system recognizes my device.
