Hi there,
I've been trying to get 2FA to work on my account for awhile now, and regardless of browser I use (firefox, chrome, edge) I can not get 2FA to work.
I tick the box for 2FA, scroll down, but there is no 2FA box to continue going forward with it, so I just have to untick it. I've tried on various browsers, on my PC and my phone. Neither have worked.
I like having 2FA on, so instead I was going to delete my account - however, even that does not work.
I type in my password, and I get a loading icon.. and then nothing. Page scrolls up, but it does not delete my account.
Anything I can do to get either of these to work? Thank you.
100% agree with you. I got 2FA working on lemmy.world but I had issues. I enabled 2FA on the website and nothing happen. Then I refreshed the page and then got the instructions on the bottom. I immediately clicked it and followed it. I had tried about 5 times in the past almost locking myself out one time.
I also can't believe there is no backup code either.
Pretty sure these types of issues are caused by lag on your home instance. Hosting my own small instance I had no issues enabling 2FA. Maybe try again off peak hours.
One issue I do have is that I am unable to log out without clearing browser cache.
I also tried to activate 2FA, but hit some problems:
The link is useless, I'm not installing some obscure app that can open that type of protocol, the big apps refuse to open such links for a reason.
I tried out some online QR generator from the link and the resulting codes were useless. I tried two different secrets, several times. I don't think that the QR generator is the problem.
I tried to manually create an authenticator entry, but it didn't work and I'm not trying out all the unspecified fields like some weird brute force test.
I like having 2FA on, so instead I was going to delete my account - however, even that does not work. I type in my password, and I get a loading icon… and then nothing. Page scrolls up, but it does not delete my account.
Errors are not showing at all. I have to check the Network tab in the developer tools to see what the API is returning...
