I no longer have access to my AdminCP because I enabled the 2FA and forgot to scan the QR Code but now it is asking me for the code. Anyway to manually disable it or find out the code through my MySQL Database?

Please Help!

VERSION: Latest 1.8.11

Quote:browse to adminoptions table of your MyBB forum database
fields are loginattempts, loginlockoutexpiry, authsecret, recovery_codes

you can double click on a field value to edit it

authsecret field value & recovery_codes field value can be wiped out
loginattempts, loginlockoutexpiry can be changed to 0 (zero)

see if required => common SQL queries guidance
