Now that we are all switching to Lemmy, now is the time for all the redditors with embarrassing usernames to make their username right! Don't screw up this time!

I wouldn’t enable 2fa yet either there are some bugs, and the code it generated for me didn’t work and locked me out of my account for a good bit. I’m not sure why but the 2fa link didn’t work for me so I copied the secret out of the url and put it in my authenticator but it never worked. Just fyi.

Lemmy uses a SHA256 digest for its TOTP codes.

Basically every other service (and therefore most authenticator apps) use SHA1.

So although you provide the right secret, you get a different code because it’s derived from a different hashing mechanism

My next question is this: I subscribed to the Technology community the other day. I went into my settings and did something that now won’t let me see any posts in that community and can’t fix it.

Ooooh ok cool. Sadly I’m using MS Authenticator so I can’t specify the type. I really don’t want to migrate to another one so hopefully this gets fixed I know there is a ticket open on github.
