VScode 2fa challenge

External Apps
1

Hi Retool(ers),

I've just activated the edit in VS Code (beta) option but ran very quickly into an issue with 2fa. On connecting to Retool, VS Code prompts me for a 2fa code which, having a Passkey in place for Retool sign-in via my phone, I can't generate as you would with with say Google Authenticator.

Am I missing a step here, or do I need to switch from a Passkey to a less secure authenticator set-up to use VS code? Can't see anything in the docs or search re limitations etc.

Thanks

  • Switch to a temporary OTP-based 2FA: This might be the quickest solution. You can use an app like Google Authenticator to set up a temporary OTP for Retool login. Remember to switch back to your Passkey after you're done editing in VS Code.
  • Wait for Passkey support in VS Code edit: Retool might be working on adding Passkey support for the VS Code edit feature. You can keep an eye on their documentation or community forums for updates.
