Also see T181475, my previous request for stripping 2FA. @Aklapper can confirm that he stripped 2FA from my Phab account as well (there's no Phab record, surprisingly).

Yes I can confirm that.

Changing priority to high. I need the account in order to be able to do my arbcomer work. Please unlock it.

Thanks in advance,
Martin Urbanec

I'm not sure anyone in Support and Safety has access to this wiki. I think this may need to be done by ops. Pinging @Jalexander for confirmation.

IIRC it can't be done on-wiki anywhere anyway, has to be done by
restricted/deployment/ops in mysql directly, like the other wikis. I think
you have restricted access though.

(best done by someone who is used to messing with mysql directly. Plenty of
people can do it though)

Sorry, I meant that I'm not sure if that wiki is in the database list (it may be, but I'm not sure what it would be called).

It'll be named arbcom_cswiki IIRC. You should be able to find it on the S3
DB servers, though the sql arbcom_cswiki command from terbium (or modern
equivalent) should find it for you. I don't recommend doing it yourself
without a dev/ops person

Ah, with an underscore. D'oh.

Hi Martin - it'd be useful if you could email ca@wikimedia.org from the email attached to your wiki account just as an added step of verification. Thanks!

(I am not sure we can reset a non-SUL wiki's 2FA with that script, but yeah, that's the one we generally use.)

Emailed.

Thanks. I have removed 2FA from your account.

As the script is designed for SUL accounts, I would make sure it is still enabled (if you want it to be) on your SUL account of the same name.

jrbs claimed this task.

@jrbs: Thanks! Checked, it is enabled at my SUL account and is not at my arbcom_cswiki account.

Neat, that wasn't available before, that should probably be documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OATHAuth as well.

I've reviewed it and it looks like it should work for non-SUL accounts, you'll need to ensure you get the --wiki parameter to mwscript right.
