Clients can’t get 6-digit code (2FA issues)

Clients get security warning

Sometimes, clients mistakenly add the "www" prefix before their client portal URL. As a result, they get a security warning, e.g., "Your connection is not private" (Google Chrome). Removing "www" and reloading the page is sufficient to fix it.
