I go to Settings, check the “Set up 2-factor authentication” box, click Save, reload the page, but clicking on “2FA installation link” does nothing. I tried copying the “secret” value from the link and using it to manually add an account in my 2FA app (Authy) but that doesn’t seem to work. The account gets added, but the codes it generates don’t seem to work for logging in (using a different browser).

I really don’t want to lock myself out. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known issue?

    Hey there, we don’t want you to lock yourself out either. Unfortunately 2FA for lemmy is not up to par. I’d suggest staying away from it for the time being.

    Before you do happen to lock yourself out, please make sure your account has an email address associated; then you can reach out to us on Discord or Matrix, we can reset it for you.
