Confirmation Code Not Sending-6 digit code

Was able to get the confirmation code upon setting up account on desktop computer, however when trying to log in through the Meta Quest app, it does not send 6 digit confirmation code. Have been trying for the past 3 hours, for a $400 product this has been VERY frustrating to just be able to look at this paper weight.

Yup, can confirm, signing up for a Yahoo email and using that worked immediately. The best part is that Yahoo also sends a confirmation number and it comes through no problem, lol. It's pretty sad when a tech company can't figure out how to make email work. Thank you to the person who doesn't work for Meta who can give a solution when their own people can't.

I was having a similar issue, where I wasn't able to login to my meta account on my computer because I wasn't receiving the SMS verification code. 

I solved it by opening the Oculus/Meta app on my phone (which was already logged in), going to Settings -> Two-factor authentication. I then chose my account from the list and clicked Additional methods and added the ability to use 'Recovery codes' to login (save the codes somewhere safe). I then tried to login again on my computer and selected using a recovery code rather than SMS to verify my account, then typed in one of the recovery codes. This worked for me, I hope it helps anyone else who runs into this issue!

If you're not already logged into your account on the Meta mobile app then there might be another way to add recovery codes to your account but I'm not sure.
