XF 2.0 Locked Out By Two Factor Authentication

[Andylaser]

Following a PC crash & rebuild and getting myself a new phone, I seem to have managed to have locked myself out of my own admin account on my forum.

I have access to server and database, is there an easy way I can get myself back in again?

Add this to your src/config.php file:
$config['enableTfa'] = false;

 

[Andylaser]

Thanks. How/where do I find that file? I have looked but cant see it anywhere.

 

[Ozzy47]

Look in the same place your XF files are at, find the folder src then in that folder is the config.php file.

 

[Andylaser]

Thanks. I am using phpMyAdmin. I have found the xf files down the left side of the window, but cant find one called src

I should point out that I find understanding software somewhere between voodoo and Chinese

You need to use a FTP to access files and folders.

src is a folder, not a file. config.php is in the src folder.

 

[Andylaser]

Excellent. That worked.

Many thanks for your help and guidance.

 

[Ozzy47]

Not a problem, glad to help.

Once you have regained access, ensure you remove that line from the config.php file, otherwise 2FA will not work for anyone.
