Accidentally clicked 2FA in settings for Lemmy.World, but I was never given a 2FA code (self.support)

So now it’s demanding I log back in and enter a 2FA code I never received. Any chances a mod/admin could disable it again? 🥺 Changing settings while one handed on my phone backfired, or can I at least get the code sent to my email? Hopefully I missed something. TIA.

Not that it helps you, but you did nothing wrong - the UI is just confusing for 2FA on Lemmy right now. You're supposed to enable it, then press F5, and the field will then display a 2FA code you can add to your authenticator or convert manually into a QR code.

If you leave the page without hitting F5 and getting that code, you're locked out.

Hope the admins sort it out for you.

Well crap… That really sucks, but thanks for coming in an confirming the issue. I really hope an admin can turn it off, it’s especially frustrating if you’re on a phone and hit it when clicking save. 🙁 So far I’m lucky I’m still logged in on the Memmy iOS app. 🤞
