Very difficult to log in using second factor on android

[Kuba34567 0]

I have second factor enabled on my account. I use Microsoft Authenticator. I am trying to log in to Evernote on Android 14.

1. I click "Login" in the mobile Evernote appp

2. I'm presented with username entry. I enter the username and confirm.

3. I'm presented with password entry. I enter the password and confirm.

4. I'm presented with authentication code entry. I switch to Microsoft Authenticator and check the code. Then I switch back to Evernote.

5. I am back at the start page and have to enter username and password again. Now, I have to remember the code and have max 30 seconds to enter my username, then password and then code

 

Expected behavior: after switching back to Evernote in step 5, I should be able to enter the code without re-entering username and pasword

The expected behavior is the actual behavior, at least on iOS.

Once you are in, check in EN app settings, Passcode if you can enable a Passcode or Face/Touch-ID. This should avoid a new full login.

I agree that this is difficult on Android 14. I worked it out by waiting until the 2FA codes changed in the authenticator app.

I remembered the cider and rapidly logged in. You have to about 90s. Once the log on is complete it is easier thereafter.
