Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can :heart:

Nextcloud version (eg, 18.0.2): 20.0.0.1
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): nginx/1.14.0
PHP version (eg, 7.1): 7.2.24

The issue you are facing:

sync breaks when enabling any of the 2FA, MFA etc.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N):Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Enable 2FA
  2. use activesync

The output of your Nextcloud log in Admin > Logging:

	Error: Undefined offset: 3 at /usr/local/lib/owncloud/lib/private/legacy/OC_Helper.php#548

(But i get this even without the 2FA activated.)

Z-push-top log : OK:AuthenticationRequiredException

It isn’t really difficult to use the search function of this forum, is it? :wink:

Install NC 20.0.2 and the problem should have been fixed.

Well, perhaps you where a bit too quick to judge, as that is not my problem. My problem is broken sync when using 2FA.

I don’t know how Activesync(z-push) works but you should usually configure an app specific password for such kind of applications. Have you done this?

Yes, i have tried with app-token. but this would mean i need to configure 3 accounts in my phone instead of one. calendarsync, contactsync and one imap account. I want to use the activesync and still be able to use 2FA.

Unfortunately I don’t know Activesync (z-push) and cannot help you any further.
