@wirestyle22 said in Mitigating Nextcloud Two Factor Authentication Error:

I upgraded Nextcloud and for some reason two-factor authentication activated on my admin account. Since I couldn't access my admin account I needed to find a way via cli to disable two factor authentication, but because it wasn't configured there was no folder in /var/www/html/nextcloud/apps for me to rename, etc. Below is the command I found that worked for me.

sudo -u apache php occ config:system:set twofactor_enforced --value=false

Note: You have to run the command as apache, or if you're using Debian www-data.

You also need to be in the right folder

By default on Fedora

cd /var/www/html/nextcloud

Or

sudo -u apache php /var/www/html/nextcloud/occ config:system:set twofactor_enforced --value=false

I just did it. The guide still applies, apart from getting 15 and not 13.

I've seen the updater do that sort of thing before with NextCloud updates. The system always puts itself into maintenance mode to actually do the update, so if there is a hitch in it's update, you have to go change it back to normal mode.

I generally complete the update using the command line process if I run into an issue with the web page method.

This was only an app update, though. I've seen it with NC updates.
