Response Code

Description

404

Not Found. The specified message is not in the flow. Note that you can only add messages to the flow by calling the /config/{appId}/flows/{flow}/locales/{locale}/2faMessages endpoint, an endpoint which adds all three 2FA messages to the flow. That means that if any one of those three messages is missing, the odds strongly suggest that the other two messages are missing as well.
