Description
I disabled the app as I wanted it to regenerate the qr code for my Yubikey
But it still asks for the backup codes and without them you cannot log in, so it seems there is no way to disable this APP completely
Running Nextcloud Hub 10 (31.0.7) in Docker Compose setup on Debian

Research direction
Begin by reproducing the reported login flow after disabling the TOTP app in the Nextcloud Hub 10 Docker Compose setup on Debian, including the Yubikey QR-code regeneration case. Done means disabling the app no longer leaves backup-code authentication blocking login, or the intended recovery behavior is documented and verified.
