Investigating

We are aware of issues where users may experience delays receiving their sign-in security code by text message. Where a code is delayed, it may have expired by the time it is received and will no longer be valid.

Repeated requests for new codes can result in the account being temporarily locked for up to 2 hours.

We apologise for any inconvenience but we continue investigate this urgently.
