2FA has come unsynced?

Hello! Set up 2FA with authy, logged in on Connect, never a problem logging in on Firefox. Downloaded eternity and I get a bad 2FA error when I try and log in. Firefox takes my user and password now, pops up the 2FA box, but then doesn't load/give an error message. Is my 2FA unsynced?

  • I've seen this happen before, even to myself, but I'm not sure the cause.

    Need the 2fa token removed off your account? Then you can reenable it

    • Sure, thank you! Let's start with that and go from there. Do I need to do anything on my end? Back anything up?

      • It's off now, you can just go turn back on in your settings.

        • Thank you!

        • Ok, same behaviour is happening with both the app and web. Can't seem to attach screenshots in comments on Connect, but I have them and can send if you tell me where.

          • Are you getting prompted for 2fa still? Try once more? I just gave the server a quick restart in case it's cached something.

            • Still being asked for 2FA on both the website and the Eternity app, my current 2FA doesn't work on either.

              • Odd. I just tried setting to null instead of ''. Try now?

                If that doesn't work, I'll need to reset your password temporarily so I can test as you (then change it back to the old hash so you can login again)

                • Setting to null worked! Logged in and posting from the web, logged in on the app, no 2FA request. Thank you for your help!

                  Do I turn 2FA back on myself, or do you need to change null to blank first?
