You stated: "This can be turned off only after the authentication has been cleared. The user may disable the two-step verification once they have completed the process."
In other words, it automatically activates, and you can't get past it until you clear the authentication.
If you had addressed it as a Two-Step issue, in your very first post, none of this would have happened. It was your failure to explain yourself properly that caused the problem.
Of course I knew of this issue; I'm an Outlook user, and I chose not to enable Two-Step. Am I supposed to hold your hand throughout the process? Correct your error for you?
Sorry, not happening.
You started out with an insulting comment: "None, of these people who gave you advice know what they're talking about."
And yet, they knew enough to not make assumptions, and knew enough not to be antagonistic.
Yet, I'm supposed to hold your hand after you've been so caustic? And so wrong?
Again, no.
