Hi @herenyi

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community! :partying_face:

If you are self-hosting you can use N8N_MFA_ENABLED = false

Hi Ria, how are you? Thanks for the welcome :wink:

I did the procedure, but it still asks for 2fa.
I restarted docker, server, is there anything else I should do?
