Hi,

I am recieving this screen every time after I enter my 2FA number. I’ve tried different browsers etc.

If anyone has any troubleshooting tips it would be appreciated.

Regards.

Are there any details in storage/logs/laravel-error.log

Thanks for the quick response! Here are the last few lines:

This error is usually caused by the APP_KEY changing in the .env file

I previously had issues with the key as it got deleted so I thought I could restore from another instance but judging by your answer and the results, this detail is stored in the db right?? Is there a way I can clear it all or change the APP_KEY in any way?

The APP_KEY value is stored in the .env file.

You can run this SQL query to clear 2FA:

update users set google_2fa_secret = null, remember_2fa_token = null where email = '<your email>';

Thanks, this sorted it out. Appreciate the help!
