Release Notes

edit: don't forget to enable 2FA, since it's now supported!

edit2: seems like federation with mastodon (and maybe others?) is broken, tried with a few different instances, including lemmy.ml. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Why does the 2FA not work like "ANY OTHER" 2FA SETUP.. if you are on a desktop and normally use a phone app to auth the link does NOTHING on the desktop when most system provide a QR Code or something.

Also as someone noted it enables without confirmation (easy to lock yourself out) and does not provide one time recovery keys or anything like most systems.

I copied the URL and then was able to add the key and algorithm setting manually but this experience is dangerously bad for a typical user.

100% agreed. I mean it's better than nothing but way too easy to lock yourself out of your account. also no recovery codes, so not sure what happens if you no longer have access to your authenticator.

pretty sure they are addressing some of it in a future version.
