I think I wanna prioritize improving the 2FA page, as it is currently generating a lot of support requests in the vein of people accidentally locking themselves out.

@Gargron I did it too. And I needed to restore my database.

@Gargron I can help you on this topic. I plan to improve it too !

@Gargron maybe we can implement recovery codes when setting up 2fa

@Gargron yep just needs to validate an otp before activating 2fa ^^

@Gargron Yes, should require a valid token to activate to proof they have set up their 2FA properly.

@Gargron Most other apps make you enter your new code before it enables 2FA. Is that an option?

@Gargron that's 2fa for you though. People regularly do that to their Google account

@Gargron @ross I've had it on my Google account since it became available. set it up on my hostux.social and Mastodon.social and it worked great the first day. Then for some reason it stopped working on my Mastodon.cloud. Really strange. Oh well 😃

@Gargron @ross Google also has like, a support desk to help people out though ;)

@konklone @Gargron That's kinda precisely my point. :) Even they have problems with people getting locked out.

@Gargron yeah backup codes, and that thing other sites do where you have to enter one or two codes first during setup before it officially activates

@Gargron doesn't seem to work with FreeOTP on android. Scanning the QR code just does nothing.
