If you ever disable (not delete) TFA in the GUI, and this TFA was only having 1 method (i.e.: OTP), you may face this bug: you can't no longer log in the GUI since it ask for a TFA, but no method are enabled.

Method #1:
Don't panic, just log in SSH to your master and rename the /etc/pmg/tfa.conf to /etc/pmg/tfa.conf_backup and you'll be able to log in the GUI to recreate the TFA.

Method #2:
If you just want to reenable the same TFA, just edit the /etc/pmg/tfa.conf to change:
Code:
..."enable":false...
for:
Code:
..."enable":true...
