Email authentication without a phone impossible
Summary: valeriepetit explains the difficulty of entering a verification code on eBay using an iPad without having a phone. The page refreshes automatically when attempting to paste the code, rendering it invalid. lingma85 acknowledges the complexity of security codes across various platforms and implies it's an ongoing issue.
impossible to enter the authentication verification code
when you have an iPad, but not your phone with you
eBay asks for the verification code to sign in
so then it asks for the code by email.
you leave Safari, and go to the app for your email inbox
you copy the code received in your email
you go back to eBay
you want to paste it into the first box on the left to paste the code
immediately and automatically the page refreshes and the code is no longer valid
and it can go on for ten hours in a loop.
impossible
you have to wait until evening and then use your phone.
find a better method!
please pass the info along thanks
the automatic refresh of the page on Safari iPad is intended by eBay and not by Safari
the other pages in tabs do not refresh

Oh yes...
+ the more they offer you security codes to secure the previous coding... + the more complicated your life will be...
This applies to sales sites, banks, etc...
and that's not all...
For now, you still have humans who reply... but when you only have AI that will have to correct the mistake it made, for example: ... it will be even harder... :)
