Let us beat this horse a bit more..

so, the OTP to email doesn’t work when using the built in admin account. no errors, no nothing, doesn’t matter which device. we’ve never been able to get it to work, always returns an incorrect response.

anyway to remove this option?

removed this info, but the option to setup via email still appears.

then on google auth on google browser.. takes the otp code… on Edge it does not accept it, and prompts to setup the authenticator again

then if you do re-scan to setup on edge… and then go to google browser and try to login , the OTP is not accepted.

so its now caught in a loop, and every device that we attempt to login with is now prompting to re-setup the authentication.

does this mean we need to have a separate admin auth account on every device?
obviously , I created a new account instead of overwriting the existing admin account, and that works on the edge browser.. but not on chrome and visa - versa. oh and then I guess i need another account on my mobile device as well?

how many times do we need to delete the “cookies” – which isn’t helping

  1. For the super admin, the user profile is stored in cookies (since the user is not in the database). Cookies are not shared across browsers or devices. You need to setup for each browser if you switch browsers.
  2. Super admin is mainly for development purpose, you should not enable it for production site. You better assign a database user to the Administrator user level instead. Then the user profile is stored in user table and it’’ work across browser and device.
