Same here on 2 accounts, both having 2fa through a HW key(yubikey; though passkeys have the same behavior). At some point today(few hours ago) both my desktop and phone got reditected to x.com/account/access, where the loop started. Frustratingly enough, i had already done the "re-enrollment" a long time ago(basically when they announced it was mandatory), but it seems like that was pointless(hopefully not). I saw so…

(replying instead of editing for timestamp purposes) I clicked "enroll" randomly again > an "error has occurred" message appeared > the page randomly refreshed and everything works now.

Same for me. I've seen many people being back to normal though. I re-enrolled on mobile using a Yubikey NFC with the iOS app back in October when prompted.

Got a "suspicious login attempt prevented" message. That's 2 hours ago.…

Update: back to normal. I can login

Prompted a couple of times only on the mobile device. I have a YibiKey 4 so it's inconvenient to do it with a USB-C to USB-A adapter. Ignored it for a while and eventually I wasn't able to use X without "re-enroll". So I did it on a laptop. The process seemed legit, the entire flow was weird and not intuitive, I had to stop and read twice before proceeding (e.g. "Where to store passkey", disable all other MFA ans onl…

Great idea to let the bullets fly. After taking a nap, the issue was fixed by X

Text message and Authenticator were disabled, two Yubikeys present in Security Keys. I don't get the idea of this process.
