2FA setup process (self.support)

Hi, I want to add 2FA to my account but activating it won't trigger my keepass app, I can see the setup code on URL which I can use it with keepass to generate tokens but website expects me to follow link so please add a manual activation for 2FA

Same here. I added it to Keepass, then opened a private browser and tried to log in and it wouldn't take it. So one of 2 things:

Most sites have you enter a code to validate that you have it right before applying the changes to your account - I did not get this in Lemmy
They simply don't validate that you have 2FA set up correctly by asking you for a code prior to actually enabling it on your account and the log in with 2FA is broken.

I went ahead and removed 2FA so I wasn't locked out of my account if I get logged out somehow until this is fixed.

Yeah I think it's just not working correctly yet. 2FA should be removed until it's fixed. I doubt the admins can remove it. Only the lemmy devs can.
