Payment method required to send messages???


I just received the following notice when trying to respond to a message a member sent to me.  The message was about audio gear and had nothing to do with buying or selling.  Is this a new requirement?  

You must have a verified phone number and payment method to send messages.

I entered my phone number and clicked my preference to not receive a 2FA request when I sign on to the page. If I navigate to the site and the site remembers my credentials, every listing I click on opens the 2FA popup (with my selected 2FA options selected and greyed out), but I am forced to click Confirm every time. It is so annoying that I now find myself avoiding Audiogon and using other sites instead. I submitted a Feature request for Audiogon to remove 2FA feature, or at least do not require me to click Confirm every time I try to open a page.  Moderators, if you see this message then please let the site developers know a 2FA  popup every time the page refreshes is annoying and a deterrent to using the site.
