i suggest u to use docker

Last time I used docker, I have encounterd a 2FA issues, I cant enter the 2FA. Has this problem fixed or any workaround?

Both docker and the bare-metal script have had updates to login (mobile) and to print 2FA codes to the logs. You may have to use passwordless on your account.

The code to enter into MS Authenticator now does display in the logs. In docker use docker logs <container_name> or if you happen to use my NTFY branch/PR codes are pushed as notifications by default.

Use the latest updates, and either rebuild the script, or recreate your container

Edit: and delete your existing /sessions folder.
