  1. access the system with user name and password
  2. execute:
    rm -f ~/.2fa.secret
    sudo /sbin/e-smith/signal-event -j otp-save

you did both steps for the user which is using 2FA?
Steps 1 delete the 2FA secret, but the steps 2 (which is mandatory) tells the system “something new happened for 2FA”. If you don’t run the signal-event step as root (henche the sudo), the first command is still to be applied.
