Security check is not able to verify, even though entering correct credentials and OTP

This app is not able to verify, rolling up continuously and not allowing me to click and verify even though i am receiving OTP on my email. This is happening when i am entering my username ando password. The developer of this app must check. Also, the app must release latest version old version is not supported to iOS devices

Awful - Cannot access account

Stupid app thinks my iPhone is a new device and now I realize the account is using a dead email. Try to get help but the cloudflare nonsense just blocks me - spinning and doing nothing.
