The new lemmy update automatically disabled 2fa for everyone. The old system didn't require you to enter the generated 2fa code on setup so lots of ppl locked themselves out.
How'd you manage that one? The new system requires you to enter a valid 2fa code from your TOTP app before its activated.
Unless this was an instance that hadn't applied the update yet, in which case 2fa will disabled once the update applies.
Instance Admins can remove it from an account. Given your instance they may not do so though.
Yeah not a fan of how Lemmy implemented it. Couldn't even manually input the seed so I had to rely on keepassdx. I'm assuming you already checked that the time is correct and you didn't modify the entry, so I'm sorry to hear that
Was stuck with the qr code. Screenshot + qr reader to copy the link. Dropped that into my totp manager and all has been good.
A simple copy+paste would have been nice, but whatever. It works.
(had 2fa on before without issue either)
