    Hi,

    I recently started using a new password manager, and for this reason I want to change the secret used to give me 2FA codes. However, I did not find how to reset said secret.

    If I disable and re-enable the 2FA Mobile App option, it just gives me the same secret again and again. Is there a specific option to do this?

    Thank you for your help !

    Hi @maelimhof, thanks for reaching out! I see you’re looking into resetting your Solid Security Mobile App 2FA secret.

    I was able to replicate the behavior you described on my test site when trying to reset the new secret using the new 2FA UI. I’ll create an internal report for this so our team can take a look at it.

    In the meantime, add this constant to your?wp-config.php?file to bring back the old 2FA UI on your WP Profile settings:?(How Do I Edit The wp-config.php File?)

    define( 'SOLID_SECURITY_LEGACY_2FA_UI', true );

    Once added, you should see the old 2FA UI and click the “View QR Code & Secret Key” button under the Mobile App to see the “Generate new secret” button.

    I hope this helps!
