Talk:Phabricator/Help/Two-factor Authentication Resets

Remove discouragement?
, can we update the wording of "we do not encourage using multi-factor authentication" to something that warns user of the consequences instead? I am actively encouraging users to enable multi-factor if they have access to sensitive information.
 * Sure you can if the consequences that users might lose access and access will not be restored are clearly communicated. --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 21:25, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Reset


Does this procedure still work? I myself can login, but fail the App Code because my phone has returned to my previous employer. When I follow the steps on this page, I can not find the phrase Click on "Visible To: Public (No Login Required)" ... therefor resetting my 2-factor stops too ...

 * I see Click on "Visible To: Public (No Login Required)" when creating a new Paste with my private, non-special account. If you do not, can you provide a screenshot (that does not expose any private data)? --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 08:20, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * In Phabricator, I can get through the first login-step, with my wikitech credentials. Under the big + at the right-top of the screen, I do see a "create a new paste", but it keeps leading me to the 2-step-code screen. I tried using FireFox and Chrome and Edge on Win10. Also tried it on Ubuntu Mate 15.10 with FireFox, but the same results. I can login, I can use oAuth from MediaWiki, but the next step is always the popup-window for two-factor auth, and there are no other links.
 * Ah. :( To go one step back, the instructions to use Paste only make sense when you have a committed identity hash on your wiki user page for more than a month. Could you link to it? Also, can you reach https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/user/Edoderoo/page/multifactor/ ? --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 10:21, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I have *now* added it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Edoderoo, but if there is a better place, let me know. I'll wait a month and try again. Edoderoo (talk) 11:23, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * ... What can be done to reset my identity from here on? Edoderoo (talk) 10:21, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping! Realizing that the Phabricator account "Edoderoo" had never been used so far, it felt far easier (and less security critical) to just delete that Phabricator account, so you can now re-register on Wikimedia Phabricator. --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 11:06, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Unable to create paste
The https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/paste/edit/form/14/ form doesn't work for me: I'm just asked for a 2FA code and cannot proceed. Is that form supposed to be usable by unauthenticated users? Sam Wilson 03:14, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
