Please be very careful doing so. It's very easy to get locked out doing this.
Is that because it's implemented poorly, or are you giving a standard warning about 2FA?
It’s not implemented well because it adds it to your account immediately without needing to confirm the code. This means if the user doesn’t know what they’re doing they could add 2FA and not copy the code correctly to their password manager resulting in a lockout.
Ouch! Might be wise to put a warning in your post.
Or even an edit to the title.
