Unable to log in b/c zoom says to "click allow on my other device" when I have no other device

When I attempt to log-in to zoom, I get "In order to verify...blah...blah, click on ALLOW on your other device"

 

I have no other devices.

 

he only way around it is generate a special code that is emailed to me. 

 

Why isn't my userid/psw sufficient to log into zoom and why is your ALLOW message so obtuse without any other options? I missed a meeting and was in a fit of rage b/c of this.

Hello @Tmanpdx,

 

It sounds like the Zoom account that you are using has a 2-Factor Authentication

process as part of the login. 

 

This is usually imposed by the account owner (i.e. your employer or school)

 

I would check with the organization that provided you the Zoom account for more details

as the 2-Factor Authentication could be via Zoom's 2FA or a 3rd party provider like Duo, Okta, RSA etc

 

Hope this helps!

Nope.
