WMO, I never changed a thing it just started on it's own. Only on Cox email. It's go to be a glitch that will be straightened out by tommorrow. Not only will I not stand for this with my eamil I won't stand for this from my IP provider. OEC is right in my back yard and a lot of my neighbors have gone to them. I just went to go outside for a minute never turn my computer off and it asked for 2 factor auth to the code sent.
Let's just hope for the both of us that this stops in a day or two.
Not threatening or being mean you all can tell from my staying with cox the last 25 years.
If you don't like their email, stop using it. There are lots of other free email options out there. You shouldn't tie your email to your ISP anyway. Makes it harder to switch.

You are right . I will start making the change over. I was just pstd but that stuff they ate trying to do with their 2factor is ridiculous at best. No other 2 factor is that far off the mark and does not accomplish a thing with that frequency

Yea, sounds like a glitch with your profile. Or maybe someone is messing with it. Don't you have a history of your account being locked? If it was me, I would go nuclear and change ALL personal information on the account. Different username, different PIN, etc. Even if you stop using their email, you still have to worry about cox.com account security.

I do have a history of Cox locking my account and having to change password to get in and they made it hard to operate without signing up for Two-Factor atho. I have not had any more problems since I turned the VPN off on the iPad as you suggested. It looks like it was a Apple update that caused all the hoopla. I used to be able to have my computer set to clear history after browsing, or closing of browser. I can no longer do that, Cox ask for 2f after ever time I closed it. It was not that way till the latest Apple update.
I would like to Unenroll from 2F autho. as suggested by Mike, but I am afraid if I do it we are back to square one with Cox locking me out of my account.
I have figure a work around it's not to my liking but what is now days. It's working.
Thanks for all the help WMO and Mike.
