Maybe it's null.
Maybe that's the answer I got wrong... (I got 9/10 - but they don't tell you which one was wrong)
If you answered anything but none of the above, likely. that seems like a tell.

Of course, since the correct answer was FILE_NOT_FOUND

T-Mobile bought out Sprint and ever since they took over I have found it extremely frustrating so sign in to their website. Every single time I have to reset my password. Without fail. It also takes multiple attempts to get signed in, necessitating multiple times that I have to retrieve a 2FA code from my email. Today I found them a bit amusing.
I get the feeling that their one-time passcode number generation has an easily exploitable bug in there somewhere because I seem to get some strings of number much more than others. For instance, when typing in "34" it autocompletes a long list of previous passcodes. "343" autocompletes a list of ~8 previously used numbers. As there are 100,000 possibilities I would expect the distribution to be a bit more random than that.

Vague possibility they have an intern typing OTP values flappy-hand style. Vague because setting up to do that is about as hard as doing the job correctly. But the deviations shown are consistent with basic flappy hand.

@Gribnit They can market that as a benefit for hipsters: Artisanal, hand-crafted small batch 2FA codes

@Polygeekery one debit card I had a long time ago came with PIN 0000. To this day I'm not sure whether it was a glitch in the system or an authentic 0.01% chance event.

I've noticed similar patterns in one-time passes for other purposes. I suspect using a 5-digit code with an apparent pattern may still allow several thousand combinations, and be easier to remember for the necessary 10 seconds than a uniformly distributed 4-digit code.

I was honestly expecting more along the lines of laid-back late-70's jazz folk fusion.

I think I'm becoming paranoid. I believe the client's own developer is sabotaging the project. For 2 days he can't implement this RFC. Yesterday the keys were all wrong, today they're fixed, but 'expires_in' holds a timestamp instead of a number of seconds. And yes, he got the link to the RFC.
This guy is not some village idiot, he is the sole programmer in that company and writes in Go. That's why I struggle with Hanlon's razor, so to speak.

Nah, he could've fixed this during a skype meeting this morning. That took much more time. He either doesn't understand basic English or is trying to delay this stuff, because he's afraid he'll be out of work.

Ok, RFC implemented, login works, without hacking the client library.
