    I changed my security options to text me or use a verification app and yet I'm still...


    I've tried everything...changing my alias as a reddit thread suggested.. changing my sign in contact to completely take off the email that is being used. I've changed the passwords on everything. And I'm still getting these single use codes to my email all day every day. Help!
