I have had so many problems with 2FA and Namecheap. I use 2FA on any service that will let me. Needless to say, I am very confident in using it. All my 2FA are set up in my Authy app, and i use it many times a day without issue.
But then comes namecheap. They are literally the only service on the internet where I will get locked out with 2FA. It will keep claiming it is the wrong password, when I know its not. I don't ever have a problem with any other online service, but the 2FA on namecheap is a constant problem.
I have been locked out on Namecheap for no reason now 5+ times that I have now just turned it off.
Now that I read your comment, I wonder if I have the same problem. I am sometimes logged in via VPN and I wonder now if that is why it was rejecting me. Its frustrating because i know the password is correct and the app is set up correctly, but it will keep claiming I have the wrong password. Like i said, I now just have it turned off, because I am terrified of losing access to my domains. But I am also terrified of not having 2FA protecting my domains. So its made me consider transferring elsewhere.
I also considered just using Amazon. Most of my domains are already using Route53 as a premium DNS instead of relying on Namecheap as a DNS anyway. So I am considering just having them be the registrar too.
