Is the settings page broken for anyone else? I’ve tried to change my language and enable 2FA on both Firefox and Ungoogled Chromium. The button just spins for a split second, and then nothing. The language settings worked before the upgrade, so I’m wondering if anything broke?
It’s definitely a Lemmy issue. I had the developer console open when trying to save settings. I got a
400 bad requeston the JSON that gets generated by the save button.Cookie redacted.

The response tab had something interesting to me.
{"error":"bio_length_overflow"}I’ve had the same bio since I started my account here, and nothing had changed except for my languages a few days before the upgrade.
Editing the bio to be blank and then pasting the contents back solved my issues. That brings me to a new question. @[email protected] is there a character limit on bio lengths that the frontend isn’t showing?
My issue is fixed, and I am leaving this up for anyone who has the same.
Edit: After more testing (see: removing one character at a time), I found the limit is 286 characters, including new lines and formatting.
Make sure it is still check marked, Then Save and then refresh the page.
It stays checked after “saving” and nothing else happens. Refreshing the page removes the check. It does not work and I pick just one language, that also does not get saved. I was a dummy before the upgrade and had all languages selected so that I could see as many posts as possible, and now I have to scroll a long list of languages if I want to post something other than Undetermined
Update: I am also having the same issue on my phone. This might be a backend issue? @[email protected]
what’s supposed to open from the
otpauthURI scheme? i have keepassxc and nothing happened. i had to manually copy the damn thing and there’s no way to confirm whether these codes work unless i log out???wait i can’t even log out. i have to clear my cookie manually.
Use incognito to test if it works before trying to log out!
don’t know why private browsing didn’t occur to me, but i ended up having to manually delete all storage and cookies related to lemmy.blahaj.zone
anyway i’m fine i guess. this is a very poor implementation of 2fa though.
This really is a terrible implementation of 2FA. I just tried it out.
I use Bitwarden and it didn’t pick up the URI scheme at all. I fed the hash into it, and could generate a code. Trying to login through incognito was a failure. I was able to go back to my original window and remove the checkmark so I could still access my account. There was no prompt to remove the code or enter a password. I think I will take that one to GitHub issues.
