Enter email and password,

If you get it right, move to next page.
Final page suggests it will email you a code to type in, but it counts
down from 60 seconds, or you start over again.

Repeatedly and desperately click Send/Receive in Outlook, whilst
waiting for delivery of code, which usually arrived out of the 60
seconds timeout.

Repeat 6 times over, whilst getting more and more frustrated with
AliExpress.

Whilst I agree that 60 seconds is a very short window of opportunity - in reality, it has not been a problem for me. The email always arrives sufficiently speedily though I do manually check for email as the automatic check might miss it.

Just this morning got a delivery - and it was only ordered on the first of the month. Tracked all the way.
