Why did my notifications stop? (2FA fatigue attack)

Why did my notifications stop?

If you ignore or deny 5 notifications in a row, Visma Authenticator stops sending them for 30 minutes.

In the meantime, click Try another way on the sign-in screen and use a 6-digit code from the app.

Why we do this

Some attackers know a password and send notification after notification. They hope you tap Approve just to make it stop. This is called a 2FA fatigue attack, or 2FA bombing.

The 30-minute pause stops this.

Got notifications you did not ask for? Tap Deny. Change your password in Account Settings.
