You will be asked for a 6-digit OTP from the authenticator app. If the code is valid, MFA will be disabled.

## Setting up a password

In case you have signed up via Google or GitHub, a password will not be set for your account. You can manually set a password for your account from the Security settings page. You will be asked for your e-mail address. You will receive an e-mail to reset your password. By clicking on the link on that e-mail you will be redirected to the password reset form and there you will be able to enter your password.
