Payment method required to send messages???

Just so everyone knows, I was able to successfully respond to the message sent to me by @thecarpathian 

Verfying my phone number for potential 2FA purposes took care of the issue.  No payment method information was provided or necessary.

I hate 2FA.  It isn't just an audiogon thing.  Apparently I'm the only guy in the world who spends a significant amount of time away from his phone.  (this is a much broader comment that just Audiogon requiring 2FA).  I'm waiting for the time when it becomes obsolete (as all tech things do).

I know what you mean Jerry.  It seems that every time I log into my bank my phone is in the other room.  Unfortunately, if 2FA becomes obsolete, it will probably be in favor of 3FA not 0FA!

When I woke up this morning I was logged out of A'Gon (not certain why) and when I attempted to log in I was prompted to enter the "one time code" sent to my phone.

I didn't write down the code from yesterday so I went to the phone to see if I had saved the message and there was a brand new message with a code.

I entered the code and it seems that PM'ing is now accessible.

Go figure.

How many numbers are in your code?
