Description

I lost my TOTP private credentials, please help remove 2FA for this account. This isn't urgent.

Event Timeline

Hmm, page says "Make sure that your user committed identity hash has been on your wiki user page for more than a month" but was added after creating this task, hence does not help to verify. Easiest might be if someone who knows you had a video call with you, or maybe a Phab admin in your office to verify this request.

The committed identity in the link he provided was added more than 3 months ago on 29 October 2019

Correct, but after creating this task...

@awight you still have access to production systems (see https://github.com/wikimedia/puppet/blob/d86dc985594ee5fd20e8c73826b04513a7c206c7/modules/admin/data/data.yaml#L149) so I imagine writing a file there saying this is really you would suffice requesting in this ticket would be good enough.
Otherwise a call / hangout with you also might suffice (for people that know who you are)

Correct, but after creating this task...

Sorry I did not look at the task creation date because the description says 'urgent'. I think that should be corrected, something can't be urgent and stays unresolved for three month at the same time.

@Ammarpad: The task description says "This isn't urgent.".

Indeed. It seems I am not seeing clearly today. Sorry for the confusion.

This is something I don't want to push back on, I'm happy to have a video call... However, for the sake of future cases like mine, perhaps we should reconsider how the "more than a month" rule is interpreted? My understanding is that the month delay is to prevent an attacker from simultaneously compromising all of my accounts, and successfully taking over my Phabricator identity before I realize that anything happened. The month would give me time to recognize that I've been account-jacked, and dispute the attacker's claim to ownership. Why would it matter when the task is created, in this scenario? It makes much more sense if we're waiting a month between posting the committed identity hash on my user page, and performing the Phabricator 2FA reset, independent of date stamps on the task.

I have just talked to the real human Adam Wight in the office and can confirm that he created this Phabricator task and wants his token reset :)

Aklapper claimed this task.

@awight: Right, that makes sense. Also thanks to Lucas for the +1. I've reset 2FA for the account.
