  • Some people have reported being able to add TOTP from mobile. Most people that reported on desktop have the same issue. It’s a lemmy thing, not just the instance. Lemmy needs to have you validate your TOTP before committing it to your account so you don’t get locked out for turning it on but not being able to actually add it.




  • Same here. I added it to Keepass, then opened a private browser and tried to log in and it wouldn’t take it. So one of 2 things:

    1. Most sites have you enter a code to validate that you have it right before applying the changes to your account - I did not get this in Lemmy
    2. They simply don’t validate that you have 2FA set up correctly by asking you for a code prior to actually enabling it on your account and the log in with 2FA is broken.

    I went ahead and removed 2FA so I wasn’t locked out of my account if I get logged out somehow until this is fixed.
