I had an issue logging into Twitch last night for the first time in a while. I just didn’t get any 2FA messages delivered to me, until about 12 hours later when I was asleep and they were probably long invalidated. and now suddenly I can’t log in to my MVD either. Apparently there’s some sort of SMS short+long code outage (according to the twilio status page in North America, which is mildly infuriating when this is already shown to be a pretty sketchy 2FA mechanism, at least theoretically.
Just curious if anybody else has noticed issues or if that’s just me. And also, I really hate SMS 2FA.

Instance Admins can remove it from an account. Given your instance they may not do so though.
The new lemmy update automatically disabled 2fa for everyone. The old system didn’t require you to enter the generated 2fa code on setup so lots of ppl locked themselves out.

How’d you manage that one? The new system requires you to enter a valid 2fa code from your TOTP app before its activated.
Unless this was an instance that hadn’t applied the update yet, in which case 2fa will disabled once the update applies.

Yeah not a fan of how Lemmy implemented it. Couldn’t even manually input the seed so I had to rely on keepassdx. I’m assuming you already checked that the time is correct and you didn’t modify the entry, so I’m sorry to hear that
Was stuck with the qr code. Screenshot + qr reader to copy the link. Dropped that into my totp manager and all has been good.
A simple copy+paste would have been nice, but whatever. It works.
(had 2fa on before without issue either)
