I have tried 4-5 times today unsuccessfully to setup my Firefox browser on my new Mac laptop. Cannot seem to actually receive any emails from Firefox with the verification codes. Have checked my spam filters, no emails sent there. Nothing sent to other email folders. Made sure accounts@firefox is in my address book. Not forwarded to another email address. And have sent test emails to my account associated with my Firefox account. They come thru successfully. But nothing at all from Firefox. Is there an email problem today from the Firefox servers?

For a while already (week or 2) i'm trying to activate 2FA on my account, but i always get the following error

"There was a problem enabling two-step authentication. Check that your device's clock is set to update automatically and start over."

I tried it on multiple laptops (all macbooks) with and without VPN and on an iPhone, but the error is the same everywhere.

The error shows in the final steps, after i downloaded and entered a security code. It brings me back to the account page with the error

Hi,

I'd like to import my bookmarks on a newly installed Firefox system. To do this, I need to log in and enter a verification code. This code arrives by email, but only after a few hours. So it's too late to enter it.

Best regards

Hey, I have a new laptop and want to login to my account. My account is an hotmail.com one. After giving the password Mozilla is suppose to send me an email with an authentification number. The email is not coming. Not in the spam section, anywhere. Tried multiple times, same issue. Add Mozilla to my contact list, nothing changes. Tried to change my Mozilla account email address, not possible as I need to pass through this process again. Is my only option to delete my account and creat a new one with another email address?

Blasted Federal Government keeps changing the rules Cannot get in they blame M/FF

The Government has to keep changing. "for our Security". We have accounts with the Veterans Affairs medical stuff for our medical stuff. NOW we had to move to Login.Gov or another website. It was horrible, but I FINALLY got the Olde Marine & Myself 2 Different accounts (i.e. 2 different email addresses) in Login.gov. VA has continued making changes & since Friday I can not get into "My Healthy Vet

i.e. I go through the steps & when I type in the e-dress & password MY PHONE SHOULD RING with a numeric code.  Once I type in the Numeric Code, I can continue to scramble around trying to access our pharmacy or our 'care team' in the VA system.

I watch the screen, nothing happens. I wait for the phone call nothing happens. I look in my email box & there is a message from Login.Gov that a code was sent to me. NOPE.

I have no idea why. as a cat like nosy person, I am always needing to know why. What is wrong? Is it the government & if so forget it as they most likely won't answer the phone. Is it Charter Spectrum? Is it Mozilla Firefox? (whine) I am beyond my paygrade here. Please someone who can talk to olde Phartes... MAYBE this could be SPECTRUM/Charter??? They are a royal pain in the tush. sending mail to spam that is not & ignoring that I tell them it is real; changing font sizes when I am typing; & other crummy stuff.

I was going through my account settings today and noticed that two factor was disabled. I thought this odd as I usually set it up on any account I use, so I of course turned it on and went about linking my authenticator app and generating account recovery codes. Yet in my authenticator app there was already a Mozilla account with my email, but the codes it supplied did not work. I also found old account recovery codes I had written down which did not work either.

What could have happened to cause this? I must have had two factor on sometime in the past and added it to my app and generated recovery codes. How could it have been disabled, the old codes made invalid, and Microsoft authenticator unlinked? Am I looking at an account breach somehow? I have no unusual activity as far as I can tell and no recent data or password breaches. The only thing I can think of was I removed a number of old devices from my account and signed out of them, but I still own the old PC's so no one could be using them.

Hi everyone,

I looked on multiple forums but can't find an answer.

I am trying to setup 2 way authentication for the Mozilla extensions account. But i can't get past the "Confirm backup authentication code" part.

I get the error:

"There was a problem confirming your backup authentication code"

Here is the codes that i got (can be public because it's expired and i left 2 of them out):

w1bycwwp6w eym2bx8yaj wh5h7c77qv s3snv0ez0x 9aveb72jw1 x8d3rzedah

So i copy just one of them, and i get the error.

  • No im not copying all of them, just one
  • No i don't have spaces in there
  • No there is no capitals or anything in there or caps (im copy pasting).

It's very odd and i can't upload my application.

Please advice. Anyone have some idea?

Thank you in advance!
