two-factor authentication

I had a problem with two-factor authentication (using Bitwarden as OTP) when creating my account. So I created my account without thinking that I could activate it later. But I can't find the option to activate the double authentication in my settings

Yes, but I have to admit that I didn't record the exact error ... I would say that my validation code was no longer valid at the time of submission, and then I tried to re-generate one without changing the registration TOP code... Sorry I wasn't very conscientious about evaluating the error.


But finally, I found it confusing to have to create this two-factor authentication directly on the account creation form ... From an interface point of view, it might be more smooth to provide it on a second step, maybe after email confirmatinon page ?

@alexisjanvier @BonfireBuilders no worries, thanks!


Yeah that's a good point, I wanted to experiment with it being part of the signup flow rather than a power-user thing hidden in settings that only a minority would look for and enable. But yeah after email confirmation may make sense.

I had some problems signing up, every attempt was getting refused, i think maybe because i went onto the sign up page some hours prior to actually attempting to sign up, used my phone for other stuff and then returned to the sign up page?(Sorry I forget the error message I was getting) Got around this by leaving the signup page and navigating to it again.

Also found that going into my password manager and returning to the page reset the page. Just wanted to sign up quick without risking more friction.

Can see the value in encouraging 2FA but maybe after sign up there's a notification that you "haven't set up two factor authentication yet"?

Agree. I didn't do it because it would have hindered signing up and getting started.
