2 Factor SMS Authentication Issue

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?

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.

Re: 2 Factor SMS Authentication Issue

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.
