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.
It almost feels kind of pointless in some ways, considering you can bypass it by clicking "forgot password" I'm glad it's there in the sense that it is broken, and it seems like a few people have needed it when trying to enable 2FA - however, if your email account is compromised and they can see you have a lemmy account, then it would be easy for them to hijack your lemmy account by clicking forget password.
Really hope they fix it soon.
