2 Step Authentication problems when using Earnings and reports in UK

[Edmund99]

Good morning

I am a Superhost in Wales  UK with two holiday let cottages.  The Welsh Government require us to submit records showing number of nights booked and relevant earnings on a regular basis.  In order to compile these records, I need to use the 'Paid' and 'Reports' sections of my Host platform, inputting 'Custom Dates' to access the figures I need.

Each time I change the dates, I am sent a 2 step Authentication request (which is tedious enough!), but more frustrating is the fact that once I have done this a few times, I am locked out for an hour. 

I spoke to customer services yesterday and was informed it is as a result of a requirement of European Law...... for those that know, Wales is not in Europe anymore, (but that's a completely separate rant!) 

Is anyone else experiencing this headache?

@Edmund99 my advice is to keep a simple spreadsheet into which you type every booking. Ours for 3 properties took next to no time and allowed us to collect all the data needed for both the VoA forms (proving business rates are due) and HMRC tax forms.
