I had the same problem and was able to get around the lockout by simply clicking the “forgot password” link on the login page and resetting my password via the email link. After that, I immediately went into my account settings and removed 2FA. I honestly can’t believe it worked.
If this doesn't solve it please send an email to info@mastodon.world so a support ticket is created.
Was not able to get this to work yesterday, currently waiting to hear back from the support email.

Just tried it again today, and it works. Yaaaayyy security vulnerabilities haha
