I am also getting the same 6 digit code. There are a few more Registrar started this, for example even NameBright is asking us to insert security code that they sent to our email.

Maybe because of the current hackers attack !!?

You'd have to contact support to look at this if you have any concerns, but generally speaking, 2FA is beneficial to have on any registrar where you're holding domains. Authenticator apps like Authy are a popular way to help secure an account.

(Pasting this for reference to GoDaddy specifically: https://uk.godaddy.com/help/enable-2-step-verification-7502)

Having to enter a code several times a day when you are on GoDaddy / GoDaddy Auctions for much of the day is a hassle. Gotta be a better way.

It's a bug that randomly affects various users from time to time.

The FIRST code is a security feature that is designed to authorize you at that PC/IP/MAC but then the GD system doesn't recognize that authorization and you keep being forced to enter code after code after code until the end of time.

Either contact James IIes or call GoDaddy Support and use extreme methods of persuasion to convince them it's their problem and it needs fixing.

Thanks @DomainRecap - GoDaddy did fix a specific issue with this when we last chatted - but entering a security code several times a day seems like typical usage.

Really? As a regular user (no 2FA enabled) this sounds strange as the GD message itself states that the code is to authorize this new location for use. SOP these days when you change systems or IP address.

But having to authorize the same location/IP/MAC multiple times each day is counterintuitive to the stated message.
