Second Factor Request on New Install

[Stephen]

I’ve attempted to install version 26.3.20260316 of the software via Softaculous on my web host and it keeps asking for a second factor answer. Obviously there’s no way I could have possibly setup that on the account as of yet as it is the first login. I found an old topic from 2019 but the instructions given on searching for a way around it do not seem to work anymore.

Any thoughts?

The default for a new installation is: 2nd factor becomes required, if you created one, otherwise it’s not.

Inside EGroupware you can change it in the Security Configuration (Admin > App config > Security) to require it, or e.g. switch it completely off, even if a user created a 2nd factor.

Do you really get an error-message saying the 2nd factor is required when you submit the login page, or is the field only shown yellow as required?
