I go to Settings, check the “Set up 2-factor authentication” box, click Save, reload the page, but clicking on “2FA installation link” does nothing. I tried copying the “secret” value from the link and using it to manually add an account in my 2FA app (Authy) but that doesn’t seem to work. The account gets added, but the codes it generates don’t seem to work for logging in (using a different browser).

I really don’t want to lock myself out. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known issue?

I have Bitwarden. Don’t have an issue. What issue did you run into?

Storing the secret key inside bitwarden produced incorrect codes. Due to Bitwarden only supporting SHA1 while Lemmy/Beehaw using SHA256.

I just checked the 2FA codes stored in my Bitwarden. Ends with algorithm=SHA256&issuer=Beehaw. Also logged out and logged in again before posting this comment.

Don’t think SHA-256 is the issue.

One usual cause of incorrect 2FA codes is incorrect system time. You can use https://time.is/ to see if that’s the case.

Maybe it’s a Vaultwarden self-hosting issue (vs. using bitwarden.com). Or maybe it’s that you’re using the Bitwarden TOTP app whereas I’m referring to the Bitwarden password manager.

All of the other codes inside my Vaultwarden password manager are working except this one. I added “&algorithm=SHA256&issuer=Beehaw” and that did not help.
