Moved your post here, because this is a different issue than the #Contribute > Bug you posted in originally.

Discourse ID is not using OAuth2. It’s functioning, in effect, as an SSO provider, which is different.

To configure 2FA, you’d need to do so at the SSO provider, ID. Specifically [https://id.discourse.com/my/preferences/security](https://id.discourse.com/my/preferences/security).
