> Can we disable Two Factor Authentication by command line SSH ?

Yes, you can do this by updating the `enforce_second_factor` site setting to “no”. Enter the rails console and run:

```plaintext
 SiteSetting.enforce_second_factor = "no"

```

The available options for that setting are “no”, “staff”, and “all”.
