Payment method required to send messages???


I just received the following notice when trying to respond to a message a member sent to me.  The message was about audio gear and had nothing to do with buying or selling.  Is this a new requirement?  

You must have a verified phone number and payment method to send messages.

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?

Yesterday I received a 7 digit code (one digit too many for input to A'gon) and then after going round to the promt again I received a 6 digit code that could be entered, but it didn't work.

Later I recieved another 6 digit code (didn't work).

This morning I received a 6 digit code that worked as far as I can tell because I was able to PM Mitch.

I figure out computer stuff with trial and a lot of error (currently trying to setup a wiped iPad for my wife).
