Every Time I go to email it wants 2 factor autho.

If you don't like their email, stop using it. There are lots of other free email options out there. You shouldn't tie your email to your ISP anyway. Makes it harder to switch.

You are right . I will start making the change over. I was just pstd but that stuff they ate trying to do with their 2factor is ridiculous at best. No other 2 factor is that far off the mark and does not accomplish a thing with that frequency 

Yea, sounds like a glitch with your profile. Or maybe someone is messing with it. Don't you have a history of your account being locked? If it was me, I would go nuclear and change ALL personal information on the account. Different username, different PIN, etc. Even if you stop using their email, you still have to worry about cox.com account security.

I do have a history of Cox locking my account and having to change password to get in and they made it hard to operate without signing up for Two-Factor atho.  I have not had any more problems since I turned the VPN off on the iPad as you suggested. It looks like it was a Apple update that caused all the hoopla. I used to be able to have my computer set to clear history after browsing, or closing of browser. I can no longer do that, Cox ask for 2f after ever time I closed it. It was not that way till the latest Apple update.

I would like to Unenroll from 2F autho. as suggested by Mike, but I am afraid if I do it we are back to square one with Cox locking me out of my account.

 I have figure a work around it's not to my liking but what is now days. It's working.

Thanks for all the help WMO and Mike.

UPDATE: WED. Feb. 22nd 9:10 am Everything is back to normal. I can turn on clear history when done browsing and all works as it should.

May have gotten a update to fix it.

Like I said all I had to do was wait a little bit, and all would have been good.

Whatever it's working.

Hip Hip Hooray

Thanks Mike,

I am starting to get to the bottom of things. I may end up owing a Big Appoligy to Cox. I am starting to see signs  that a recent Update on my Mac from Apple may be the culprit. A Thousand Pardons if this is it.
