I have recently encountered an issue when attempting to access the desktop app. Despite repeated efforts to reset and verify that is does work on the website and other devices. I am unable to advance beyond the "we have important info for you" screen.

Any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance for your time.
