My MS account is doing a thing lately where I have to enter the TOTP twice to login successfuly. It has to be two different TOTPs, too, can't enter the same one; I have to literally wait until the first one expires and get another one.
Didn't experience any of the other shenanigans described in the article though, so there's that.
TOTP is time based, I'd check the time on the device just in case. Having to enter multiple codes must be so annoying!
I have the machine synced with NTP and I'm not seeing any time issues.
It's such a super specific quirk, too, that I can't believe it's not on their side.
Maybe they've decided that TOTP is less secure than passkeys and if I refuse to use passkeys with their app I should be "helped" 😃 by using twice the amount of TOTP?
