Can't seem to find the setting in the Jerboa app. Do I have to use the web version or something?

It's in the web interface, under "Settings", towards the bottom.

I had to toggle the checkbox, click save, and then reload the settings page. There was an additional button below the activated checkbox afterwards labelled "2FA installation link", which was confusing at first. However, you can right-click the button and the URL will allow you to enter it into your authenticator, which I assume is the same information a QR code would hold.

Additional caveat I noticed: You should add it to the authenticator ASAP, after toggling the checkbox. Because Lemmy does not seem to require confirmation of the 2FA, you would be locked out of your account, if you logged out without adding this link beforehand.

I don't know about Jebora, but on wefwef.app the 2FA worked after activating on the Lemmy web-view this way.

What authenticator app do you use, will Aegis work ?

I use bitwarden, so I don't know about the Aegis authenticator - not familiar with it.

If it has the functionality to add otpauth:// links instead of QR codes, I see no reason why it should not work.
