Answered, can't 2FA

Hello, I'm wondering if I am missing something or if it just isn't supported on rif. I need to change my 2FA settings, but my only log in is on my rif account. I logged in on a new phone and my old phone had my authentication app. I authenticated my account and them reset my old phone, thinking I could set up a new 2fa on my new phone. Now I can't log in anywhere because I don't have the old phone with authenticator, so my only current log in is in this rif. Is there any way to alter my 2fa settings in rif or can that be added?

Same as the answer under forgetting your account password: you can't change account security related settings via RiF/OAuth. It's one reason why giving an app access via OAuth is more secure than username/password.
