Thank you for your patience as we recover from the recent incident.
We’re introducing One-Time PIN (OTP) functionality to certain seller features.
This feature is only accessible to sellers and is an opt-in feature, however,
it is highly recommended.
OTPs will be sent to the email address associated with your BrickLink account.
One verification code lasts for 60 days on a single machine ID (one browser on
a specific device). This verification process should not impact integrations
with third-party inventory managers.

My first reactions is that the OTP is being tied to an email account. If I then
tie the email account to a 2FA SMS based authentication (similar to what BL is
doing with OTP) that would make it very difficult for anyone to breach both the
email and BL. Tie all that together with strong passwords.

I had it work for my phone but not for my iPad so I temporarily disabled it then
activated it from my iPad and then it worked. maybe try that as a temporarily
workaround

this is the same problem when you try to access the MOC popup store and has been
since the beginning. So something is not quite right.
Following the examples of other online marketplaces with regards to security
features such as OTP, we have decided to change the current OTP opt-in feature
to an opt-out feature. This means that sellers will have this feature enabled
automatically in their store settings and will be able to opt-out if they so
desire.
We highly encourage sellers to keep OTP enabled for added account protection.
Additional safety measures may include changing your passwords regularly and
having separate passwords for all your online accounts.
I have tried to log in with the one-time pin code about 10 times & it will not
let me in.

I highly encourage BrickLink to find another way to give PA or important information
than posting in a Forum read by 1% users and at 22:43 EDT or 3:43 Paris time
IT: Hey guys? Should we send out an email to let users know we're going to
enable OTP for everyone?
Manager: Nah, just post it in the forum.
IT: What forum?

proposed part merger.

And yet, you are all here.
Yep, this site loads ok because of the age and simplicity.
LEGO.com home page sometimes takes 3 minutes to load!
Tbh I’ve used other forums and bricklink has the best interface of all of them
(yes it dosnt have all the features) but the simple design of it on other sites
is weird so maybe I’m missing the golden standard for forum designs?

This would have been a better announcement if it had been sent early enough for
me to read it before the change was made.
I didn't read the message board late last night, so when I tried to log on
today I was surprised and mystified about what the heck this was.

My email address has a limit of 160 characters and the pin is all the way at
the bottom of a much too long and wordy message and the pin is missing from the
email. Also tried changing email address and that message for pin is also too
long.
So I am locked out

It was like a pager system. It got a few orders processed and scanned by the
post office under ten minutes... so it was working. Any offsite emails were ignored
so everything was logged on bricklink email system. Besides average email lengths
have been trending down in size.

160 chars limit ??? Your're searching for trouble?
There are tons of free plans with no limitations.
I don't recommend the major ones (privacy reasons) like gmail...
But gmx.com for example (I've an address there for 10 yrs no problem), or
any other.
Or for professional use, I recommend subscribing a paid serious service with
no ads etc.
It's worth the $20 or such per year you'll pay for.
