Add Lemmy 2FA into 2FAS for iOS (lemmy.ca)

Hey everyone, still on the iOS train for the time being, and want to enable 2FA for my Lemmy account. Currently the way this is done, it gives a link and that link default opens in Keychain, however I want to add the token to 2FAS. Anyone know how to do this?

Copy the link on the 2FA installation link button in your Lemmy account settings and put in the secret= value inside the Secret Key (required) field of 2FAS (heads up, it's going to be fairly long), and under additional info you need to change the Algorithm to SHA256. Everything else stays the same.

Another way would be to use an addon (ex: on Firefox) to generate a QR code from your desktop browser by right-clicking the 2FA installation link and clicking QR code from link, then scan the QR code into 2FAS.

Always make sure you have a backup of your 2FAS data, either local or cloud-based.
