That’s incredibly odd. I have to say I’ve never had such issues trying to get 2FA working before.

I’ve also never been able to not delete my account. But yeah, no error code or anything. It just resets the password box.

It almost feels kind of pointless in some ways, considering you can bypass it by clicking “forgot password” I’m glad it’s there in the sense that it is broken, and it seems like a few people have needed it when trying to enable 2FA - however, if your email account is compromised and they can see you have a lemmy account, then it would be easy for them to hijack your lemmy account by clicking forget password.

Really hope they fix it soon.

I’ve been trying for about two weeks now. I’m Australian so I’m usually online when most people are off-line as well.

Same thing happened to me, but I had another tab open where I was already logged in, so I could turn it off.

Apparently clicking “Forgot password” bypasses the 2FA.

Overall the implementation is awful. No backup codes either.

Definitely hobbydrama and nosleep.
