Hi there, I’ve been trying to get 2FA to work on my account for awhile now, and regardless of browser I use (firefox, chrome, edge) I can not get 2FA to work. I tick the box for 2FA, scroll down, but there is no 2FA box to continue going forward with it, so I just have to untick it. I’ve tried on various browsers, on my PC and my phone. Neither have worked.

I like having 2FA on, so instead I was going to delete my account - however, even that does not work. I type in my password, and I get a loading icon… and then nothing. Page scrolls up, but it does not delete my account.

Anything I can do to get either of these to work? Thank you.

    Had the same problem: when you tick the box nothing happens. Tried a few times and nothing so I stopped trying.

    Something must have happened anyway, because last time I logout it asked me my 2FA to login again.

    Guess what? I have a new account now.

      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.

        100% agree with you. I got 2FA working on lemmy.world but I had issues. I enabled 2FA on the website and nothing happen. Then I refreshed the page and then got the instructions on the bottom. I immediately clicked it and followed it. I had tried about 5 times in the past almost locking myself out one time.

        I also can’t believe there is no backup code either.
