Portal: Remember browser 2FA not working and Code sending delay

I have a Powerapps Portal with Dynamics365 (Portal-Typ = StarterPortal 9.3.11.12)

We have Local authentication with 2FA sending via Email. I added the Website-Setting "Authentication/Registration/RememberBrowserEnabled". Then the checkbox "Remember Browser" appears. If I activate the checkbox and log in with the 2FA code and after that loggin again, the 2FA code is no longer required, as expected. When I close the browser and log in again, the 2FA code is requested again. I try different browser but after closing the browser the "Remember"-Funktion is forgotten. Is there a fix?

Another problem we have is that the 2FA code is sometimes delayed (email). I tried to extend the validity of the 2FA code with the website setting "Authentication / TwoFactorCookie / ExpireTimeSpan". But unfortunately the 2FA code is only valid for 5 minutes. I have under Value this value: 00:55:00. Is tehre a limit for max. 6min?

I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

"Authentication/Registration/RememberBrowserEnabled" Selects or clears a Remember browser? check box on second-factor validation (email code) to persist the second-factor validation for the current browser. The user won't be required to pass the second-factor validation for their next sign-ins, as long as they use the same browser.

So if you use the same browser and the portal asks the 2FA code again, please try to check if you enabled the option which will clear the cookies when the browser is closed.

For example, here is the option for Edge browser.

"Authentication/TwoFactorCookie/ExpireTimeSpan" Controls how much time a two-factor cookie will remain valid from the moment it was created. Value shouldn't exceed 6 minutes.
