Maybe you should use your eyes to read and not blindly click buttons? It very clearly says 2FA is required, if you say not now, you cannot use it.

its not a bank. no good reason to require 2FA just to play with a virtual phone.

It is actually a remote connection to a real phone, so since the resources are quite finite, requiring a second factor makes a bit more sense.

It's not for "playing with", and they're not virtual either, it's for testing on real devices. The 2FA helps to prevent someone making a billion accounts to abuse the credit system

I tried to click Sign In but the button moved around the page like a joke site.

When I did get it I had to sign in with my Samsung ID and I had to remember what that is because regardless of how much you try to work through their REST API their interface won't let you register any email address that contains the word "samsung" in it.

Then I got this:

Couldn't load webpage

The webpage didn’t respond to the request in time.
