Enable 2FA support for the auto login flow

2FA support is released with v0.3.0

Here is how to configure it:

2fa

Don't forget to add that key to your phone as well, and save the recovery codes somewhere.

Sorry for writing on a closed issue, but I just had a general question.
I'm using dual-boot Win/Linux.
The only way for me to get the Two-Factor secret key from Proton seems to be if I remove it and add again.
Is there an option to just get the secret key without disabling the TFA?

A few years back when I was handling this issue it worker the way you described. It's likely still working the same way.

It's unlikely the @ProtonMail provides such option, you could ask them/support though.

@HenrijsS by the way consider enabling the persistent session feature. So you don't save any credentials in the app but still get the fully automated signing into the accounts.

@vladimiry Thank you for the quick answer. I'll try to get in touch with Protonmail about this. Maybe there's a way to get it.
Seeing as in the Account settings on EM, the key is hidden. Is it accessible with the Master Password maybe?

You can see in #318 (comment) how to decrypt the raw credentials values knowing the master password.
