I'm having the same issue. Trying to manually select the Second Factor Device via css leads to an error due to the css not existing until the login succeeds.

Attached is the error image I get from docker:

Hey @streamsend-io @raifbecker

Thanks for reporting this bug. I've tested it on my end, but sadly I don't see the same selector, it just asks me for the 2FA code:

Without it, I cannot know what CSS values we need to operate on in order to complete the auth flow. I'm happy to review and merge a PR if either of you can identify how to operate on this selector and allow IBeam to proceed. It pretty much just burns down to finding either ID or CSS of the elements that need to be clicked on, and add an action to click on it somewhere in the flow of login_handler.py -> attempt after step_login

[onurserce]

@streamsend-io I have the same issue. I believe this is happening if the account multiple 2FA methods available, at least this seems to be the case for me.

[onurserce]

@Voyz Implemented a minimal solution PR #277

[Voyz]

@onurserce that's a fantastic contribution - I've glanced over the code and can see you took your time to understand the existing implementation. Great job and many thanks! 🙌

I'm currently caught up in client work until the end of the month so won't find time to review the PR yet.

To facilitate usage of this PR for anyone who's interested I've built your branch into an image and pushed it as voyz/ibeam:0.5.11-rc1. If anyone uses it - please let us know if it worked for you.

I haven't review the code, but Claude told me this would fix my issue, and he was right.
Thank you very much, I can use IBeam now!
