When I click the set up 2FA thing in the account settings I then see the following

That button contains a link with a secret key, and some other things. What am I supposed to do with it? I want to set the 2FA up to use my authenticator on my phone.

    If you do lock your self out, reset your password and after that it will log you back in. You can disable 2fa in the settings.

      That sounds like a gaping security hole, but with how likely it is that you lock yourself out with the current 2FA implementation, I can’t be mad about it.

      If all else fails you could also reach out to the admin of your instance I suppose and see if they can disable 2FA on your account, but I figured it’s best to avoid the headache altogether and just not log out until you’re 100% the 2FA works properly.
