Login issues with Proxmox VE 7.3 + TFA activated, but not enabled.

Good afternoon,

I have a Cisco UCS C220 M3L with 4 x HDD 2TB and 32Gb RAM.
As the company said that the server was a bit obsolete, I asked them to install Proxmox and test it, even though I don't have any experience in LINUX.

I installed Proxmox VE 7.3 with the idea of exploring the software, getting to know it, its potential, etc.

I uploaded some ISOs, but I don't have any VM or Containers yet, as I wanted to spend some time configuring the entire system correctly.

I enabled TFA and correctly configured it with the Microsoft Authenticator APP.
> Despite that, as I was still making settings, I went back to TFA and kept the line with all the settings, but I disabled TFA.

After that I remembered to configure RAID and then I realized that hardware RAID5 had not yet been enabled.
After reading the documentation, I realized that instead of enabling the ZFS filesystem with RAIDZ2, I should just leave the RAID5 configuration in Hardware, is that it?

> I enabled RAID5 through Cisco CIMC management console.

While waiting for the previous process to finish, I tried to enter the Web GUI and when logging in with root via Linux PAM, a second Pop-Up [Second login factor required] appeared, but without any option to insert code, so I can't get past that part.

How can I regain access to the Web GUI?
Did the ongoing hardware RAID5 activation process cause this problem, and should I reinstall Proxmox, or did it happen because I disabled TFA?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Never mind, obviously with the adjustment to hardware RAID 5, everything is lost, and I will have to reinstall Proxmox, but that's how you gain experience, right?

Still, I was curious to know if I activate TFA and then keep the settings line there, but in the "Enabled" option I choose "no", will I be able to reproduce the error and have the same problem?

Thank you anyway.

I have the same experience, but with PBS. Configuring MFA for an account that is used to embed the storage in PVE, but have it disabled, does not work. It only works to fully remove MFA from that account again.
