Authentication code not received via email

Hi,

After quite a while of not using it, I wanted to relogin to one (of two) GitHub accounts I have. I am greeted with a text stating I will be sent an email with a code. The email however does not arrive:
"We just sent your authentication code via email to . The code will expire at 3:16PM CEST."

My email account is correct, it is working, I tried multiple times over the past hours.
Does anybody have an idea what could be happening?

I'd have to add that I found a string of emails from last December and Januray urging me to enroll 2FA. These also stated "On January 19th, 2024 at 00:00 (UTC) your account will be required to have 2FA for authentication. If you have not yet enrolled by that date, your ability to access GitHub.com will be limited until you finish the enrollment process." So even though that's a while back there is the guarantee I will be able to get back in, and presumably be forced to enroll 2FA.

Pfff. Now I have multiple emails in my Inbox, must have been a short outage. Or maybe there's just a few hours delay in this service ...

This is frustrating. I have the same problem. Heck I wanted to comment on this thread and I realized I can't login in the first place.

GitHub is informed about this issue and fixed it. You can see the main information here.

[StubbornDeer]

Hey, the same issue - I can't log in to some account, is says the authentication code is sent, but after several tries, still don't have any (tested my email, it works normally).

[htcisd1]

Hi, i am facing the same issue now i have created this new account the problem is same, please help

[rwdr0]

My authentication codes arriving late at bulk. Can't freaking tell which one is the latest and if I try to use a code sent a few minutes before that has already been invalidated. Fix your shitty mail service @github

[Hamza-324]

Having the same issue now, anyone still facing it ?

[charliedaly]
