So my instance has updated to 0.18 and Enabled TOTP support - I have enabled it as I want to ensure my accounts are as secure as possible. the problem, no apps support it yet.
I plan to install every app for Lemmy in order to find a good experience on Lemmy. So I have installed it, but I won’t be able to use it untill it supports entering TOTP tokens.
Do you plan to add support for this?
Edit: not sure why this was downvoted. I know some people are having issues with the implementation TOTP in Lemmy - I nearly did, in fact the code didn’t show up in my authenticator app until I accidentally added it twice. (Then I removed the identical second code) But the fact the implementation needs work doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be supported - next point release should be fixing some or all of these things, so isn’t it a good idea to be prepared for that?
Also I’ve seen a pull request in Jerboa’s github that adds preliminary support for it as well - but the Devs are bogged down with requests for Lemmy and Jerboa, so I’m not expecting it to make it through in the next week, no matter how much of a priority it is.
Now I know this app is open source and run by people out of the goodness of their heart too. And I will patiently wait for the time when it’s added - if not work out a preliminary way to add it and submit a pull request. But my expertise isn’t in interface and app design and therefore if I do find the time to do it, the implementation will be crude at best - I know next to none of the conventions specific to app development, having only used LibGDX, which is a game dev toolkit similar to XNA for modern android.
Yes we plan to add support. But there was a pretty serious bug in Lemmy backend around their TOTP URI handling locking users out of their accounts. We’ll likely wait until 0.18.1

TOTP support will be coming very soon: https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/pull/56
Still needs to be reviewed, but keep tracking this over the next couple days.
Awesome! Thankyou.
