Problem with Setting Up 2FA for Lemm.ee
I have set up 2FA many times on other sites, but I can’t get it to work on Lemm.ee.
What usually happens: when I set up 2FA I get either a QR code to scan into an authenticator app or a get a key code that I can manually enter into the authenticator app.
What happens with Lemm.ee: it gives me a link that opens my password preferences. Options include my password app and other password vaults. My authenticator app (2FAS Auth) is not an option. I have tried this on a Mac and iPhone, and have no luck getting it to allow me to add a 2FA in the authenticator.
Link starts with “otpauth://”. I tried adding the part of the link with a long code between “secret=” and “&algorithm” to the authenticator, but that did not seem give me the right 2FA and I couldn’t log in.
Does anyone have suggestions to on how to get from the otpauth link to an entry into an authenticator?

Just wanted to chime in and say I’m in the same boat. Can’t figure it out.

Yes, you've posted this three times
I honestly can't see any of these posts anywhere! Sorry about the duplicates.
Edit: apparently when you hide read posts, that includes your own posts! I deleted the duplicates.
Update: I figured out how to get the 2FA set up using my password manager. When I clicked the link on my Mac, it had an option to open the link in a different app, not just the password manager. I selected my password app (Bitwardern), which allowed me to assign the TOTP to the appropriate Lemmy account. Now I can use 2FA through Bitwarden.
You sure you've input the proper details in the authenticator app, like type, algorithm (sha256) issuer etc? I have mine setup with no issues.
