Unable to use RT feature on iPhone with Twitter 2FA

[rishey]

I was trying to use the RT feature on one of the scripting new items and it asks me to login to twitter, but since I use 2FA, it didn’t log me in properly. Keeps asking me to sign on to twitter, I do , then I enter the 2FA code but then it asks me to log in again. This was on the iPhone using Safari.

I did it myself and didn't have a problem and I also use 2FA.

I linked to this from the Scripting News home page, so hopefully we can get other people's experiences and get to the bottom of the problem.

It's actually really good timing, I'm working in this area right now.

I was able to do it on my mac in safari browser but not on the iPhone.

Just tried it on my iPhone, everything worked as expected...

1. Logged out of Twitter, erased all cookies in mobile Safari
2. Opened scripting.com, clicked on the retweet link
3. Was asked to log in to the Twitter app, then to enter 2FA. Did that.
4. Was sent back to scripting.com com, clicked again on the retweet link.
5. Got the dialog to add text to the retweet. Added text and posted.
6. It worked. https://twitter.com/ScottHansonDE/status/1354487537058934784

Ok So I think the problem is that I was switching to the authy app to get the 2FA code and when i returned to Safari, the twitter 2FA page auto-refreshes. When I tried using the Authy app on my desktop to retrieve the 2FA code, it worked. Seems the issue is related to switching away from safari during the process on the iPhone.
