Resetting 2-factor auth (Google Authenticator)

Recommended Posts

I took the IOS update of Google Authenticator this morning and it's forgotten my info. I can't login as I can't remember my backup code.

 

I have full access to the file system and DB but am not sure what I need to do to re-gain access and reset Google Auth.

 

I logged a support ticket a while back but so far no response and it's quite important I get my access back asap.

 

Thanks

 

Jim

And...how did you solve it?

I have my backup code but I can't find anywhere how to reset it - there is NO info about it

 

There is a field in the admin table that specifies the auth type (can't remember what is is set to but I think it's 4 letters). Delete this and then you can login with just your username and password. Once in you can reset the 2 factor auth.

 

That said, looks like the app has been fixed now.
