Does 2FA work? It's a real janky implementation that doesn't even require the confirmation of a 2FA code before it's enabled. But I tried logging into my account using incognito mode and it wouldn't let me with 2FA enabled and I had the right code. I think this needs to be looked at before people start getting locked out of their accounts.
This seems to be a wider lemmy problem than lemmy.world. I tried setting it up on lemmy.ml and got the same issue. Posted to support here: https://lemmy.ml/post/1921909
To piggyback on this. On this very account, I was updating my displayname, and accidentally clicked on "Enable 2FA", then clicked save. It saved.
Then I went back and unchecked it cuz I didn't want it. Clicked save. It saved. Thought all was well.
Went back like an hour later to log in on Chrome, and it's asking for a 2FA code that doesn't exist.
I'm still logged in on all the apps (how I'm replying right now), but can't sign in anywhere else now to change any settings or anything.
If possible, I'd like to keep the account and save a lot of trouble, but if not, I'd like to have the account completely deleted so I can reclaim the username. Don't even care about the content I have created really.
