As of Monday, June 12 2023, new 2FA/MFA enrollments are temporarily paused.

If you've already enrolled in 2FA/MFA and are able to login you can continue to use it or disable it if preferable.

If you are having trouble logging in and own an iOS device, first check Settings > Passwords > OpenAI on your device and look for a verification code. If found, enter that on the "Verify your identity" screen during login.
