Sites Asking for Email Verification Code

[TripleJJones]

I've ran into a few sites that will ask for an Email verification code each time upon login so they seem to be detecting that the browser is bot controlled somehow even though I'm running UC mode. I've tried CHP mode using same location, tried loading cookies, nothing seems to work. I can log into these sites without issue when logging in normally. Not sure what else to try or look for.

Are you sure it's not the standard 2-factor auth?

You'll definitely need CDP Mode for most things now.

No, it's not the standard 2-factor. I have that turned off. It specifically only asks for a verification email if I log into the site from a new browser or use the bot to try and log in. As I've said, CDP and loading cookies do not work. The sites seem to be detecting something that is prompting for the email verification.

If it's every "new" browser, then that would be triggered since by default the user-data-dir is new unless specifying an existing one. But if using CDP Mode, you would need to create that dir using CDP Mode, and then maybe generate some traffic so that your browser has some cookies in it.

But if it's not related to the "new" browser, then just try out the CDP Mode examples to make sure you're doing things correctly.

I think it seems to be related to using a new instance of a browser. Is there documentation and examples showing how to specify a user-data-dir with CDP mode? I've tried doing this with regular SB, but not sure if I'm doing it right or it just doesn't matter if I specific a user-data-dir.

use_data_dir arg. If creating a new one, give it a name of a folder that doesn't already exist.

Note that the user_data_dir format is not the same as regular Chrome, so don't mix a regular one with a CDP Mode one.
