Unable to Reset or Disable 2FA for Locked-Out Users in SuiteCRM 8

Hello Catherine,

There are three fields in the users table, which seem to “activate / deactivate” the 2FA.

Set these to:

  • totp_secret = NULL
  • is_totp_enabled = 0
  • backup_codes = []

image

And then, the user can login again and re-activate the 2FA.

Then, it’s important to copy and paste the backup codes into your password storage app.

Afterwards, the fields are being filled again (with encoded values - so it’s not possible to simply copy them and use them).
