I received a warning from Uncle Oracle recently that MOS would soon be enforcing two factor authentication, and today it has happened. Only for one of the MOS accounts I use, the other (thank heavens!) is still only password authenticated. A word of advice: make sure you have at least two MOS accounts, and attach both of them to all your CSIs.

I told MOS to authenticate me by sending an email. It doesn't work. Using Chrome, it is hopeless unless I use incognito windows. They sometimes get through. Firefox is a bit better. I am wondering if MOS has messed up the way it uses cookies? Or if the way I configure my browsers (I use Ghostery, block as many cookies and trackers as I can, don't download images unless I have to) is the problem?

Has anyone else had problems with the MOS MFA? Any advice?

For the moment I still have the previous password authentication.
The only change is that it takes more than 5 minutes to load using a full CPU.
I use Firefow with Adblock Plus and NoScript. I disabled Adblock for support.oracle.com but no change.
