I did the check for adding 2FA and got the pop up saying to save, scroll down and do something. But didn’t see the info on the page after so I unchecked 2FA and saved again. Now any time I try to log in, I’m being asked for my 2FA token, which I don’t have because I never finished setting it up due to not seeing the link to complete. I’m still logged in via liftoff, but don’t think I can change that setting here. Any way to fix this or will I need to create a new account?
Yeah you may want to leave it disabled for now, Lemmy’s 2FA implementation is still a work in progress.
If you do re-attempt it make sure you are using a 2FA device/software with SHA256 support and try to test it in another browser/device before logging out. I don’t know about Microsoft Authenticator specifically but it sounds like it doesn’t do SHA256 which is why you don’t see it give you valid codes. The same thing would happen with Google Authenticator.
