I wouldn't use 2fa until it requires a successful code check on setup, at this point you won't know whether you've successfully enabled 2fa or locked yourself out until you next try to log in.

I use keepassXC on linux.
Copy the secret key from the url.
otpauth://totp/Lemmy.world:username?secret=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&algorithm=SHA256&issuer=Lemmy.world
Paste that here:
I tried all this, I did get keepass to provide the 2FA code, but lemmy won't accept it. I had to reset my password so I can get back in.
Same here. I added it to Keepass, then opened a private browser and tried to log in and it wouldn't take it. So one of 2 things:
- Most sites have you enter a code to validate that you have it right before applying the changes to your account - I did not get this in Lemmy
- They simply don't validate that you have 2FA set up correctly by asking you for a code prior to actually enabling it on your account and the log in with 2FA is broken.
I went ahead and removed 2FA so I wasn't locked out of my account if I get logged out somehow until this is fixed.
Yeah I think it's just not working correctly yet. 2FA should be removed until it's fixed. I doubt the admins can remove it. Only the lemmy devs can.
