Why this rule existsrationale
Authentication+ verifies a live second factor rather than producing a transferable report, so there is nothing to import and the attempt is refused rather than queued. It is a reasonable thing to try: every other class can be imported, and the API takes the same shape for all of them.
How to fix itremediation
Order the Authentication+ vet directly on the brand instead of importing one. Where you already hold a report from elsewhere, only the standard and political classes can be brought across. Done when no import is attempted for the Authentication+ class.
A compliant exampleexample
vet import class: STANDARD — Authentication+ is ordered directly on the brand instead
