Discourse supports three types of 2-factor options: TOTP (6-digit codes rotating every 30 seconds), security key (Yubikey, biometric, etc.), and backup codes. Sometimes users will misconfigure their 2-factor device, lose or reset their phone, or otherwise no longer be able to use/obtain the 2-factor. Admins can then assist in reseting this for them.

> ⚠ Admins should be certain to verify that the user is the one making the request. Disabling 2-factor makes an account easier to hack, so be sure a bad party isn’t requesting the reset.
