Network error on code request , all the time, doesn’t work

New update

The new updates, with purple writing makes it really hard to read, also I don’t see the reasoning for them using AI now, just more people being lazy I guess.

App is Limited on iPad

I need to take my harassment training but it’s not available on my iPad app

Can’t paste 2FA code and keyboard doesn’t show up to type either

Kinda tough to login when it requires a 2FA code, but as soon as you leave the app to get the code you don’t get a keyboard to type in the code, nor can you paste the code in. Gotta memorize code, quickly type in password and type code in before it expires.
