Same here, been reporting the broken flow to customer support. An interesting part is the "we'll send you an email to confirm you're you", followed by a "enter validation code here" screen that immediately gets forwarded to the re-enrollment message. Also, no confirmation emails are being sent. Very surprised to see this being deployed to prod.

Same for me, I cannot do anything. Looks like someone did not test its code before deployment

Glad to hear I'm not alone. Just made an account on this website to type this lol.

The twitter login loops are somehow WORSE than the Microsoft login page, which is crazy to believe. I have tried to save the passkey using Bitwarden and that also doesn't work, they clearly broke something.

Happened to me as well.

Side note, why isn't this on the front page? The points to recency ratio seems high enough.

I've been trying to re-enroll mine when they prompted me previously and it didn't work then, I have no idea why they decided to force it when enrollment wasn't working already.

I am stuck in this loop as well. All devices, all attempts to clear cookies, log out and back in, etc, don't work.

twitter login is trash. The captchas, the loops, the verifications. It has always been clunky as hell.

they just fixed it for me (well I'm not stuck in the loop anymore idk if they "fixed" fixed it yet)

Did you have to relog in or complete the flow one more time or?
