SOLVED: After getting spooked turned on 2FA for lemmy.world account, but the code to scan for my Auth app never appeared, the screen refreshed, logged me out, and I can't get back into my account now

Is there anything I can do, or is that account lost forever now? Resetting the password doesn't work (natch). Not a huge deal, but it's upsetting because I was modding a community from that account. Any tips/contacts would be appreciated. Cheers.
*** update: as per commenters suggesting, tried resetting password for that account once again, and I was successfully able to log in, go to my settings, then remove 2FA, and all seems good now
You're viewing a single thread.
This exact same thing happened to me earlier today.
Just request a password reset with the 'forgot password' link. This will let you change your pwd and log in so you can either disable 2fa or try again.
It really shouldn't work like that, but it does at the moment.
