For some odd reason every time I request a token to login to some accounts, I'm not receiving any sms texts. I tried other phones and with other wireless provider and it does work. Is this happening to any other TMO users/accounts?
TMO should really investigate this issue.

Would you mind listing the companies you are having issues receiving 2FA's from? What device are you using as well? 2FA's are working fine for me on my Note 9 from Amazon, Ubisoft, Bethesda, and Steam.
iPhone.

Are you a prepaid or postpaid customer? I know some banks, like SunTrust, will not allow their system to verify 2FA on prepaid numbers for security reasons.
Hey,
We'd love to help figure out why 2FA isn't working the way it should be.
- what type of plan are you currently on?
- are you using DIGITS?
- what type of companies are you not able to receive the authentication texts from?
Twitter, and yes it is a digits number for me.
I am experiencing something very similar.
Ported my number from Google Voice to T-Mobile.
On iPhone 12, on Magenta plan.
No 2FA SMS messages are received on my phone.
T Mobile is a rip off they dont put their customers 1 st . I’m taking my bussiness to a compant that does care about their customers . Merry Xmas T moblie
I am experiencing the blocking of Microsoft Office365 text messages for their two-factor authentication. Come on TMOBILE - can you fix this with DIGITS lines once and for all? these services are CRITICAL for day to day work and business. Especially during these times when all of us are working from home
I am having the same issue with an iphone. No 2FA but other SMS is working
I can’t even get two-factor authentication texts from T-Mobile when I attempt to log in to my account. This just started happening a few months ago. I get them from other companies, without a problem. I end up resorting to getting the code via email, which I receive within seconds.
Tmobile, please fix short codes with DIGITS? That is one of the main reasons for DIGITS to exist as a backup to the SIM, in today’s world.
I have the same issue with Instagram. What is the fix?
2-factor auth codes from Amazon.com and Vanguard.com do not work with my t-mobile phone. Others work fine. In fact, they work fine with my spouse’s phone, and she is also a t-mobile customer - with the exact same phone!
How is this not fixed yet? This thread is over 3 yrs old, yet the problem continues. I can deal with crappy coverage, but I should at least be able to get TFA codes while on wifi!

I was able to get this resolved by contacting T-Mobile technical support. It was a chat session, and they were able to reset a setting.
6 day old cust. From VZW: T-Mobile broke 2FA, Monday, 1st workday with service very slow 2fa, some missed. Today, Tuesday not a single text came in, despite numerous attempts to fix.
Switching back to my old service. Sorry guys, can’t have a service that won’t let me validate my credentials. How am I supposed to work if I can’t login?
Enter your username or e-mail address. We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password.
