I am using Google Authenticator 6.0 the code appears there as expected. However when I provide it to either the browser login screen on yny desktop or Jebora on my phone then select the log in button nothing happens.

It doe not indicate it is the wrong code, nor does it give any error messages.

Chromes debug console a 400 (Bad request) with error: “incorrect_totp token”

I assume this means it doesn’t like the authentication code I am providing. Though I’m not quite sure what it’s expecting.

it could be that Google Authenticator doesn't support the SHA256 digests for the TOTP codes that lemmy generates? there's a bit more info here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3309

i've heard that Authy doesn't support it either.

Thanks. I didn't even really pick Google Authenticator. After turning on 2 factor via Jebora it just opened up the app and the code was there.

I guess this means that account is locked untill they fix it or would there be an alternative way in?

do you know if you have an e-mail address setup on the account? if so, you can reset your password which I think also bypasses the 2FA (which isn't great either, but 🤷)

That worked! Thank you for the suggestion. It even let's you use the same password
