Description

I have hardware (FIDO2) security keys enrolled for my developer account. When altserver prompts for the 6 digit code, nothing is sent to my devices as having security keys disables code-based 2FA. I had to remove them to log in.

Research direction

Start by tracing the AltServer login flow that prompts for a six-digit code and review how developer-account authentication is handled. Done means accounts with enrolled FIDO2 security keys can log in without removing key-based 2FA or relying on an unavailable code.
