Apple Safari is Blocking online authentication code

Hello everyone,

Just experienced an unpleasant encounter: This morning on MacBook Pro, trying to log into my financial online account, I could not receive the two-factor authentication code, for several times! Then I went on to Microsoft PC and was able to receive the code instantly! Why blocking? Is this blocking an "outreach of some sort by Apple" trying to tag into everyone's personal business?

It's possible that you were using iCloud Private Relay in Safari, which the financial institution treats as a VPN and sometimes may not allow logins while this is active. You can get around this by telling Safari to show your IP address to the website instead. Give that a try and see if it works next time: Browse privately in Safari on iPhone - Apple Support

Someone had that issue the other day and it was their FOCUS: Do Not Disturb
