Lemmy uses a SHA256 digest for its TOTP codes.

Basically every other service (and therefore most authenticator apps) use SHA1.

So although you provide the right secret, you get a different code because it’s derived from a different hashing mechanism

Ooooh ok cool. Sadly I’m using MS Authenticator so I can’t specify the type. I really don’t want to migrate to another one so hopefully this gets fixed I know there is a ticket open on github.

My next question is this: I subscribed to the Technology community the other day. I went into my settings and did something that now won’t let me see any posts in that community and can’t fix it.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
