Bug potentially leading to loss of all data including 2FA tokens!
Hi dear Ente Team,
I have recently started using ente and ente auth.
Since I also protect my ente account with 2FA stored in ente auth I have my recovery phrase safely stored in multiple places AND have deactivated email verification since I am protecting my mail account with 2FA in ente auth as well, as suggested in your faq/enteception.
Now just to try out what happens if I lost my phone today I tried to recover my account with said phrase.
I had to discover that I still get asked to verify my email with a code sent to my email address! I checked again, I have email authentification switched off in both my ente and ente auth apps.
This could potentially lead to losing all my data and my 2FA tokens.
