So I’ve just been locked out of the first Lemmy account I created at Lemmy.world because sign in won’t accept my 2FA token that I have with MS Authenticator. I want 2FA enabled for obvious reasons but hesistent until I know which Auth software definitely works. Couldn’t really find a clear answer online so I thought I’d asklemmy! Hopefully an answer may help others too. I did see some info on my searching about there being 2FA issues with Lemmy, something about Auth software needing SHA256 which apparently MS Auth has? TIA!

    I use KeePassXC for TOTP on computer and Aegis on Android, but I didn’t check if Aegis can change to sha256 like KeePassXC can.

    Edited: I just checked and found the option for sha256 in Aegis, so 2FA must work with code generated by this app.
