    Seems award wallet being stopped by BA’s new 2fa login rules. Get a texted and emailed code overnight. Hope they can find a workaround or will have to manually update..

    AwardWallet needs to adapt to an API call from BA rather than the login methodology – the problem then lies in the ‘vouchers’ and ‘trips’ part that AwardWallet scrapes. So short term change it to manual

    May have to! Oddly I get one code by text and a different code by email!

    Me too! I don’t understand why different codes are generated, and neither works. I’ve had to change passwords and disable automatic updating for the three BAEC accounts I monitor on Awards Wallet and I’ve also had to do the same in the past for some other reward programmes with 2FA.

    Same. And ditto for quite a few other accounts I track with AW (most of my airlines and about half of my hotels). I vaguely recall this happening before, a while ago, and it did get fixed eventually, so hopefully they’ll sort it out…

    Award Wallet stores your passwords? Good grief, what is this the 1990s?

    I think I will ditch award wallet at my next renewal – it needs a complete overhaul to deal with accounts with 2FA, which may not be possible.

    There’s no use in it if it can’t update automatically.
