Support Two-Factor Authentication #9

Open sbruchmann opened 10 years ago

sbruchmann commented 10 years ago

Leximail is currently not usable if one is trying to login via two-factor authentication.

Here’s an excerpt from the error, which was thrown:

Apparently Leximail does support two-factor authentication. I should have read the link the error message was showing. Typical Monday.

On a side note, I think Leximail should handle this kind of error, since it could be quite common. I leave this issue open for further discussion, but feel free to close this if you want to.

Thank You, I will leave it open for future handling of the error.
