Hello everyone,
I recently had to reset my phone so I lost all my Google Authenticator codes (for Two-Factor Authentcation)
I have backup codes so I can log in to my Discourse accounts but I cannot disable/update two factor auth from my account.
Is there a way to do it that I missed?
Thanks for all the help!
If you can log in (you kept backup codes, excellent work), you can disable two factor. Just edit it in your user preferences.
I tried, it asks me an authentication code (which obviously I don’t have) and it doesn’t allow me to input one of my backup codes on the input field (It only allows 6 characters)
Our CSS there looks a little messed up cc @Johani. Worth a check.
I thought the backup codes worked the same as the app codes, is this not the case @nbianca?
@codinghorror authentication codes from apps are 6 character longs while the generated backup codes are 16
The other option is to have a staff member disable 2FA on your account, but I agree we should fix this up since you’re currently stuck.
Hope I’m not asking a lot but can we do both? I’d like to be able to access my accounts ahaha
Actually, @maja can you take a break from the Ember 3.7 upgrade and ensure we can disable 2FA using either authentication or backup codes?
This has been fixed per this commit:

Sorry for the inconvenience @tajchumber
Now it works like a charm! thanks @maja
