Update timeline

  1. investigating Oct 13, 2025, 05:10 PM UTC

    We are currently investigating an elevated error rate with our text messaging provider. Two factor codes or phone verification codes delivered by SMS may return errors or fail to be delivered. Other two factor authentication mechanisms, such as voice codes, authenticator application (TOTP) or backup codes should be unaffected. The team is working to identify the cause and resolve it. We will provide an update here when more information is available.
