<![CDATA[2FA not allowing Online Account connection in Linux]]>Hey folks, I set up 2FA via Nexloud app notification on Android yesterday. Works great except my online account connection to my VPS instance from Linux (pop!_os -- essentially, Ubuntu) won't connect now. Any idea how to fix this?

From my experience, it's referred to as Online Accounts. I first encountered it in Ubuntu, then Mint, then Pop!_OS. It's a davs connection to Nextcloud.

What do you mean by 'online account connection' to your VPS ? Is that some pop!_os concept ? (Do you mean SSH connection to the server or do you mean connecting to nextcloud ?)
