It may be an isolated incident, but it would have been avoided had Lemmy confirmed the 2FA code before enabling it on the account. Like standard practice.
Besides, this issue refutes your entire premise - that automated 2FA set up is flawless.
See this thread: https://lemmy.eus/post/190738
It's an issue with many different authenticators, and it's an issue with the way Lemmy sets up its 2FA and doesn't do a confirmation afterwards. This needs to be fixed.
