What a pain to double verify on a Forum site. I tried to turn it off but no, you can't access the site without it being enabled. Pain over something that should be so easy.
It was "hard" because I was in a hurry and didn't expect it. It was hard because only after I did the Verify was the Disable button there, which I picked, AND then I discovered I could not continue with it disabled.
I do like the idea of giving the extra codes, so you don't have to verify if you have issues. I do understand there might be a need to have it. It just was not the moment that I was looking for.
