2FA does not accept TOTP-code #2210

Hi,

it has been a while since I used my Codeberg account. Back then, I enabled 2FA and – you guessed it – I cannot access the TOTP-token anymore. I've saved a one-time password, which I assumed is the "scratch code" that the system asks for, yet, this one isn't accepted.

What other option are there? I still have access to the PGP-keys I used for signing and the mail address the account is registered to.

Edit: I could reanimate the device I used for 2FA, but still the system does not accept the codes. I haven't registered any other device. Why does it not work?
