@unaegeli @signalapp My guess: the reminder is a pop-up dialog. It's not a signal message, email, or text. I, too, would like to hear Signal's answer to this question.

@unaegeli @signalapp I was just thinking of this. It sounds like Signal is fairly unique in this setup. We're constantly being bombarded with verification requests, and it can be easy to forget one app works differently.

@unaegeli @signalapp One is an in-app prompt. The other is a message, text or email. They don't look anything alike.

@unaegeli -That's a different code -It's very clearly a popup, and not in a chat -To abuse it, one would already need access to the account, i.e. through having completed the other attack I feel like that reminder is distinct enough as it is @signalapp

@unaegeli @signalapp Those reminders can be ignored.
