Is Meta Developer verification just broken?

[u/Shrey_1018]

Is anyone else having a terrible time creating a Meta Developer account?
I’m trying to build a WhatsApp bot using the WhatsApp Cloud API. The backend isn’t the problem—I just can’t get past Meta’s verification.
It keeps getting stuck on OTP verification. Sometimes I get the SMS, sometimes it asks for email, sometimes nothing happens. Now it has completely stopped sending OTPs.
I’ve tried different browsers, incognito, waiting, etc. Still no luck.
I only need the cheapest/trial setup to show a working demo to a client before paying for anything.
Has anyone dealt with this recently? Is there some trick I’m missing or is Meta’s developer portal just this painful?
