is it possible your phone's (or whatever device you have the 2FA app on) clock is slightly off? Which could definitely cause issues for TOTP based 2FA.

I used Ente auth on Android phone running Android 13. And I checked my clock is synced correctly.

If you think kbin.earth has security issues, then you probably shouldn't use Mbin at all. That said, if you'd like to migrate to a different Mbin instance, Mbin doesn't really have a good way to do that. If you have tons of magazine or user subscriptions, then you could try using Interstellar's account transfer feature

Not just this sentence but your whole reply is slightly passive aggressive and you're asking ME to keep a nicer tone? Haha! I pointed 2 crucial errors both of which are related to account security - one error when the user onboards on the server and the other one when the user tries to secure their account through 2FA. And the reply you gave to both of these are "I'm actually surprised that's happening" and "I'm not really sure what the issue is there". You can't seem to pinpoint on how a specific error pops up and have the audacity to ask other users to "keep a nicer tone" when the user was just pinpointing errors in your instance! And, when did I even have a harsher tone? Is it from the "Seriously what the hell is going on in kbin.earth" from my title? If so, you're very prudish and shouldn't be browsing the internet. And you have no right to tell me not to use Mbin at all! I'll try the account transfer feature in your app or better yet, create my own instance and Android app for Mbin! Try being less of a snowflake and try to accept criticisms for your creations next time. And, if you have time, think about going back to college because you lack CS basics if you can't pinpoint 2 errors.

As for your kbin.earth issues, are you saying anytime you try to log in, you get an "email not verified" message?

I got "email not verified" error right after I completed my email verification when I signed up on kbin.earth. Not every time I login. I've described it in detail in my original post here-https://kbin.earth/index.php/m/AskMbin@thebrainbin.org/t/1532246 . And yes, you are correct I wouldn't be able to reply or post if my account was really not email verified. But I am able to, so this might be due to some technical error in the code which is executed when the user signs up.

No comment from the admin of kbin.earth even after 13 hours of posting! This doesn't inspire much confidence in you or your instance or your app @jwr1 !

WOW! You're one of those "legacy redditors"! You must have seen a lot - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly! Any interesting stories to tell about that dumpster fire of a cesspit? Asides from stories from subs like jailbait?

I wonder if the error you got is related to the federation issues the site had yesterday. He ended up reverting some changes and maybe you got caught in it.

This didn't happen yesterday! I created my account on 17th June 2025!

A technical error in the code maybe?

I thought about it too. A social media platform having technical errors in the most crucial parts of the onboarding process doesn't inspire much confidence in me. Guess I'll quit Mbin altogether. I quit Shittit (Reddit) and Shitmmy (Lemmy) this morning. Guess Deadbin (Mbin) is next.

This WILL be the fate of EVERY alternative social media platform. Part of Fediverse or not. As all alternate social media platforms birth from some sort of protest/activism/boycott, the best example is how Shittit (Reddit) API changes gave birth to Shitmmy (Lemmy) and Deadbin (Mbin). Alternate platforms usually give space to de-platformed individuals. In the past Alt social medias gave space for the far right and alt-right, now it's far left and alt-left. Nothing different. Just look at what shitshow is going on in Shitsky (Bluesky) and Shitlight social (Skylight social)! Every post is "Orange man bad!", "MAGA Bad!". I gave Shitlight social a try and couldn't stand it! The folks there are chronically online and so deluded that they think everyone is MAGA, like there was a video where a young 11 year girl drove her parents car to the supermarket to buy something and crashed the car into the supermarket, the comments were like "The parents are Trump supporters!". I was like WTF! There was no media coverage of this incident (at the point when the video was made), the video was filmed by someone inside the supermarket, no other context, no nothing! And those deluded foids were screaming "Her parents are Trump supporters!" without even knowing the girl's name! To them everyone is a Trump supporter. Every alt media platform will become like this- filled with individuals on the extreme sides of the political spectrum. No alt media platform will reach mainstream status including the ones on Shitiverse (Fediverse).
