Yes, you will find it in this file:

/etc/pve/priv/tfa.cfg

Not without tinkering, as far as I know. You need to have the secret seed, of course. @fireon showed where this can be found.

The tool we need is "oathtool", which is not installed by default:

~# apt install oathtool

Someone else needs to chime in to show us how to extract the "secret=" out of "tfa.cfg". I am too stupid to handle "jq" :-(

Lets say the secret is stored in the variable SECRET, then this works:

 ~$ echo $SECRET | oathtool  --totp -b - 
475487

And as usual: man oathtool tells you more...

Thank you, and the code works regarding the token number, what I serve is the key in short the one you see the first time in the qrcode. Thank you
