# 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](https://accountsettings.connect.visma.com).
