XF 2.3 Two-step verification required

[craigForo]

Is there a way to disable the two-step verification process when you do not have access to the control panel? I recently set up a site using xampp, but I do not have email service enabled to receive a code.

Add this to the src/config.php file to temporarily disable TFA:

$config['enableTfa'] = false;

Then disable TFA in your account, remove that line from the config file, and set TFA up again.

Backup codes are designed for this very reason.

Thank you. FWIW, your xampp/ssl/xf setup step-by-step guide was priceless.

How do I get to src/config.php?

How do I get to src/config.php?

Use FTP or cPanel's File Manager to browse the files of your site. Navigate to the src folder and find the config.php file.

Thank you, but I have already looked at HILFEN. I can't find the download described there in the customer portal, or is it not available? Can you explain to me how I can get it?

It's your own hosting assuming XF is installed already.

If you're on XF Cloud, you don't have that type of access so you'll have to submit a ticket to have them do it for you.

Thank you very much and a happy New Year 2025.
