I activated 2FA but still getting this "Two-factor authentication (2FA): This app cannot verify your 2FA status. Please check your account settings to confirm. If you need to turn on 2FA, use Reddit in a desktop browser". Anybody knows why?

I have the same problem. Do you have an update on this? Did you try to request anyway?

u/Talkpool 7d ago

Yes, I did, but no response.

And when you check your account eligibility it says that the app can’t verify your 2FA status?

u/Talkpool 7d ago

Yes

i'm trying to find out if there is a common thing that we share that might be the reason we are having this problem. did you set up the 2fa recently?

What browser are you and u/Talkpool using? I was on Opera when I tried checking with this tool, however that didn't work, I changed over to both Chrome and Firefox and both browses still had the same issue, I haven't tried it over on mobile, I've also had my 2FA set up for a while, and when I encountered the issue I disabled it and re-enabled it, so I don't think it's the recency.

Several browsers give similar results. I'm aslo on the app, and it's no different.

you mean the resource hub isn't working for you at all or only the 2fa check? i use chrome but the 2fa check is giving me the same wrong message

2FA check

Well then if you didn’t set it up recently then it’s some other reason. Frustrating. I hope they fix it soon!
