I have seen people have had this problem before wity no obvious solution. I have tried on pc, tablet and phone app. Ive updated apps, my pc etc.. cleared cookies etc and still not working. Even when i requested an email code i am still asked for an sms code. Cant set up an auth app because i need an sms code.

This happens because SMS is set as the primary two-step verification method, and the system will keep requiring it until you change that method, even after a successful email code delivery. To receive a verification code, ensure that your phone is not blocking messages from the numbers 88811 or 97962.
