As the opencart admin, I enabled two factor authentication. I did not think enabling it would immediately block me from using the admin account until the pin was sent and entered in the field. After saving, it immediately requests a code which gets sent to my (correctly entered) email, but as opencart is installed in a vm, I cannot receive it. I don't want to connect the vm to the internet just yet and while I've played around with postfix and mailutils hoping to catch the email being sent in a mailbox, I haven't had any luck yet.
I've tried looking at the opencart database tables for any settings related to 2fa and I found some mail settings in oc_settings (where oc_ is the default prefix), but no two-auth.
I cannot access my admin account until 2fa is disabled/reverted or I start over. How can I recover my account / what settings do I need to change and where to disable 2fa? Thank you in advance.

Since you have access to your database, simply go to the "setting" table, and search for "config_security" under the "key" column. Simply delete the entire row and 2FA should be disabled. Alternatively, you could run the following SQL query:AwesomeSoap wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2023 7:21 amAs the opencart admin, I enabled two factor authentication.

Hi, I am having the same problem, but I am not familiar with open cart database tables. Is that something I can find in cPanel? Like in the file manager? Thank you. Sorry I’m a newbie.
