"textContent": "Hi @OpenAI_Support / Jordan — same issue here, and it confirms this isn’t fully fixed. My earlier thread (Case 09491223) was auto-closed, but the problem just resurfaced for me too: my existing Mac session still works, but signing in on a new laptop (fresh client auth) again forces a WhatsApp/SMS code to my dead +44 number via auth.openai.com, with no way past it. Could you apply the same per-account mitigation to my account (Case 09491223)? Glad to provide exact timestamps + client details. Thanks",
