Description

When logging in, and after proving a correct two-factor auth token, I am shown a 5XX error. The logs don’t provide a stack trace so can’t see where in the code it’s breaking.

I was able to work around this by getting a shell into PostgreSQL and running:

update two_factor set uid = 111 where id = 1;

Note that uuid = 111 does not exist, but this prevented the two-factor auth screen from showing when logging in. Not sure what happened. An interesting note, is I did go enable two-factor auth again for my same user, logout, then log back in and it worked using two-factor without a 5XX error.

After that I went and deleted the old (broken) two-factor entry in PostgreSQL manually:

delete from two_factor where id = 1;
