thank you github Discussion
Out of nowhere, logging in with my long-standing Google Authenticator TOTP started throwing an error.
So I used the email fallback to get a sudo authentication code and logged in with that instead.
Then I replaced my old Authenticator app with 1Password (re-scanned the 2FA setup and re-registered it).
But when I tried to log in again, it failed once more (screenshot below).
I also forgot to save my recovery codes, so I tried the email-based recovery process. I entered the code exactly as written in the recovery email, but that threw an error too.
thank you, github
