  2. disable 2FA with sudo -u www php occ twofactorauth:disable $user
  3. disable 2FA in user’s settings
  4. enable 2FA with sudo -u www php occ twofactorauth:enable $user
  5. enable 2FA in user’s settings, scan QR code with new 2FA phone app
  6. log off and log on as $user

On your 5 step are you sure that you validate the Qrcode ?

When you scan it, under it it ask you a 6-digit code to validate it. If you don’t do it, 2FA won’t work on this user account

Wouldn’t it be easier to log in with the backup codes provided during 2FA setup and then setting up a new 2FA device?
