Wikitech 2FA reset needed for User:Matanya
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I have changed my phone, and lost my second factor keys on the app on the old phone. Need a 2fa reset please.

Event Timeline

The 2FA reset process for Wikitech accounts is documented at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Password_reset#Reset_two_factor_authentication

Usually the easiest identity verification method is "Have the user write a request to disable 2fa in their home directory on a CloudVPS/Toolforge bastion." One way to do this:

$ ssh bastion.wmflabs.org
$ cd $HOME
$ touch 2fa-reset-request.txt
$ chmod 0600 2fa-reset-request.txt
$ echo "https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T236441" > 2fa-reset-request.txt
$ echo "$(hostname -f):$(pwd)/2fa-reset-request.txt"

Then come back here and make a comment including the output of the last command.

OATHAuth disabled for Matanya.

2FA disabled. Please do record your recovery codes when you re-enable 2FA at wikitech. They should let you fix a similar problem yourself in the future by using 1 code to authenticate to wikitech and a second code to disable your own 2FA setting.
