Lost Wikitech 2FA details, recovery needed
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I am https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Mschwarzer, this LDAP account is attached to this Phabricator account. I wiped my phone and now the code is gone.

I want to completely disable 2FA for my Wikitech account.

this LDAP account is attached to this Phabricator account.

No, it is not.

Service: Though it's not, the user page https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Mschwarzer&oldid=1418394 has the section "currently working on" (created by the user himself) and this links to T142477 which is assigned to this phab account.

I mixed something up. The phab account is linked to my MediaWiki profile. But yes, the wikitech user page refers to a ticket of this phab account. Sorry for the confusion.

@Aklapper Is there anyhow a way to proceed with this?

@mschwarzer per https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Password_reset#Reset_two_factor_authentication, your next step would be to create a text file in your $HOME directory on a Labs bastion server (e.g. bastion.wmflabs.org) and post the path to that file here. Ping me when you do that and I can verify the file and remove your 2fa settings.

@bd808 Thanks. I added the file:

mschwarzer@bastion-01:~$ pwd
/home/mschwarzer
mschwarzer@bastion-01:~$ echo "mschwarzer-2fa-recovery T159521" > reset_2fa.txt
mschwarzer@bastion-01:~$ cat reset_2fa.txt 
mschwarzer-2fa-recovery T159521
mschwarzer@bastion-01:~$
bd808 claimed this task.

I verified the /home/mschwarzer/reset_2fa.txt file contents and removed the row from oathauth_users on silver belonging to the user Mschwarzer.
