Extension:OATHAuth

The OATHAuth extension is a time-based one-time password (TOTP) implementation. It provides two-factor authentication via something you have (your phone or desktop client) and something you know (your user name/password). Client support is available for most feature phones, smartphones and desktops (see Client implementations). This extension has nothing to do with OAuth, which is a totally different protocol.

Resetting a user token
In the event that a user both loses their token generator AND the recovery tokens; two-factor authentication may be removed from the user by deleting their row from the  database table. A sysadmin with shell access may type on a command line  and then execute   where is the user to have 2FA disabled to have it disabled.
