Command line disable Two Factor Authentication

To do that, enter the rails console, then you need to find your user ID. To do that run:

id  = User.find_by(username: '<your_username>').id

Replace <your_username> with your Discourse username. Make sure to keep the quotation marks. When you run the command, you should see a number returned. That number is your user ID. It has been assigned to the variable id .

Then you need to find the UserSecondFactor record that is associated with your user. This command uses the id variable that you set with the first command:

second_factor = UserSecondFactor.find_by(user_id: id)

When you run that command, you should see some output in the console that shows your second factor record.

Now destroy the record:

second_factor.destroy

You can exit the console after running that command. You should be able to login to your site after running it.

Thanks so much, it works great.
However, I did not use the command second_factor.destroy. Instead, I took the data field to manually enter the Authenticator to recreate the two-factor authentication code.
Yes, it worked perfectly. For added security, I will recreate the new validator.
Thanks you.
