Disable 2FA from commandline

Install/Maintain/Configure

Hi,

I lost the device I used for 2FA and my scratch codes with it.
Is it possible to disable 2FA for my user from the commandline (like ./gitea admin ) or by setting a config option or changing a database field?

I have full access to the server and database, just not getting into gitea.

thanks in advance,
Tist

Delete the record on table two_factor via uid is your id on table user which will help you login with your password.

Hate to necro but since this is one of the only articles discussing the topic, if you use a webauthn security key, you’ll need to inspect the webauthn_credential table instead of two_factor!
