 * Over a sudden, I can’t log in with 2FA QR and authenticator app.
    When I login,
   I get Authentication Code field which is a normal behavior, but when I add the
   code I’m getting an error: “ERROR: Invalid Authentication Code.” This is what
   I did until now, but it didn’t help. – Loged in with backup code – Generateed
   new secret for mobile app authenticator – disabled all pug ins and themes
 * When I try to login I still have the error: “ERROR: Invalid Authentication Code.”
