Please increase the emailed verification code timeout on the Windows desktop app

We get the verification code email about 25 seconds after the desktop app times out its request for it, so we cannot use the desktop app.

If you set the timeout to be two or three minutes longer, that should help firms like ours that use multi-layered email defense systems where sometimes emails are delayed a couple of minutes.

@user196 Welcome to the forum!

Your feature request is fine, but is there a reason why your users do not have 2FA enabled for their Bitwarden accounts?

(I have assumed that the verification codes you are having problems with is the “New Device Login Protection”, a requirement that is waived if you enabled 2FA).

If you set up any of the 2-step login methods (TOTP seems to be a favorite), you will no longer prompted for a verification code in email.

Others have reported issues with email non-reliability not just delays, so my preference is to avoid making email part of my authentication at all.
