2FA popup message persistent on excel for mac
When I sign in to any site that requires a multi factor authentication through sms messaging, the pop up window for the 2FA code appears in the top corner of any excel spreadsheet that I have open.
If I try and move up to the spreadsheet corner, I can't.
If I tab up to get to cell A1, the popup is activated and I can't access cells it is covering.
I can't click and delete the popup message.
It may disappear over time, but I am unable to use excel effectively while it is present.
Any ways to delete the pop up?

Hello Andrew2250,
To stop it appearing over your worksheets, open System Settings > Notifications > Messages. You can turn off Allow Notifications or change the alert style to None, depending on the options available in your macOS version.
If you want to keep Messages notifications, changing the alert style may help prevent the banner from covering your worksheet.
Not sure you wanna this?
Open System Settings > Notifications > Messages and disable “Allow Notifications” or “Show notifications on screen.”
