About OTP verification
If your account requires it, you'll be redirected to a one-time passcode (OTP) step after signing in. This is an extra layer of security on top of your password — enter the code you receive to complete sign-in.
What you'll learn
- How to enter your one-time code
- How the resend cooldown works
- What happens if you enter the wrong code too many times
This step is conditional Not every account is required to verify with a one-time code. Whether you see this step depends on your account's security settings — see Signing In for the full sign-in flow.

Resending your code
The resend link has a 60-second cooldown After each time you send a code, the "Resend code" link is on a 60-second cooldown. Clicking it before the cooldown ends does nothing visible — no error appears, it simply won't resend yet. Wait for the countdown to finish before trying again.
Too many invalid codes
Entering too many invalid codes triggers a lockout If you enter an incorrect code too many times, the form visibly stops responding for about 8 seconds before redirecting you back to the login page. This is expected security behavior, not a bug — it's designed to slow down repeated guessing. Simply sign in again to request a fresh code.
