  • Go to your profile settings
  • Tick enable 2FA
  • Click Save
  • Copy link of the 2FA installation link button
  • Extract the secret from the link
    • It is a random set of characters following the secret= bit
    • In the Linux world, this dirty pipe will extract it:
echo "pastedlink" | cut -d'=' -f2 | cut -d '&' -f1
  • Set TOTP to custom
  • Set algorithm to SHA256
  • Try logging in in a Private Window/Session/etc of your browser.
