How can I turn off two factor authentication on Proxmox Backup Server. I did this from the web interface and restarted the proxmox backup server. But it still asks me for two factor authentication. I have SSH access. How can I fix this process on Proxmox Backup server?

Hi Guys.

I solved problem. I am connected to the device via ssh.
I deleted the tfa.json file under /etc/proxmox-backup/.
Then I restarted the proxy backup server
problem solved.

Thanks. This worked without a restart. I ssh into to shell and rm tfa.json and tfa.json.lock then refreshed the browser page at logon window.
