Want to leave a comment saying how woefully painful the 2FA is on this site. I'd ticked the box for 2FA on my account (assuming I'd receive a link or email). When I didn't I thought nothing of it and carried on my business. Turns out now I'm locked out of my account and cannot access it without providing a 2FA key (which I didn't set up).

I've contacted the instance admin (/u/sunaurus | @sunaurus) but their last comment/post was a month ago, so I'm a little worried if I'll ever get back into my (original) account.

Thanks for your quick and helpful reply. While this account I've used a temp email with my other account (the one in question) has been set up with an email address (one I have permanent access to). Hopefully it wont be too long before I hear back from them...!

Thanks again for the help! If you could keep your fingers and toes crossed for me too I'd be very grateful lol :D!

Locked out of account (2FA) (lemm.ee)
 

I have already sent a message to @Sunaurus in hopes of removing 2FA from my account but I'm making a post here in hopes of either helping myself or others.

It seems this is a common occurrence, I think I clicked "enabled 2FA" on my (other) account in the hopes of setting it up. When I tried to log in it asks for my password and 2FA (which I hadn't set up).

I've read that resetting your password removes 2FA, however I've been unsuccessful when trying this.

Thanks in advance for any help! :)
