My TOTP failed suddenly so I removed the tfa.json and tfa.json.lock lock files from /etc/proxmox-backup/ and now I can't verify TOTP. Inside /etc/proxmox-backup/ the tfa.json.lock lock file keeps getting created right after I delete it. Running Backup Server 2.4-1. How can I get TOTP working again?
