Hi Lindsey, sorry you couldn't reach anyone. In the sign-in log all four typed codes from older texts; each new request replaces the previous code, so after five tries the 15-minute wait started again each time. Nobody can skip that wait, us included; the newest text always works.

Support isn't staffed at weekends. For a site that can't sign in at all, the urgent line in your contract reaches our on-call engineer. Daniel has the number, and I'll send it to you too.

Please do. We didn't know there was one. And the screen should say use the newest text!

Second customer caught by old texts (SUP-1157, Greenhollow). Asked Noor to put 'use the newest text' on the code screen.

Northgate's site managers don't have the urgent line. Sending it to all 12, with Rachel's OK.
