Unable to do aadhaar authentication for existing GST users

Recently, aadhaar authentication has been enabled for existing users also in GST portal. I am a proprietor.As per FAQ, my name should be auto-selected, since, I am the sole primary authorised signatory. However, though my name appears, it is not auto-selected. I cannot also select it. When I press 'send verification link', 'Select primary authorised signatory' message appears. Further, it is mentioned that I am not a citizen/resident of India. What the hell are they doing?

Quick Summary
Existing GST users are facing difficulties with the newly enabled Aadhaar authentication process. Users report issues with name selection and verification link errors, with some even being incorrectly flagged as non-residents. However, updates indicate the issue has been resolved as of January 14, 2021, with successful authentication now possible via a pop-up or the 'My Profile' section.
