Mega Backups fails (+ MFA Setup)

Yeah I dont know.
This is my second post screaming for help - last time the transfer limit of Mega was reached for some reason. (I guess due to my ISP cycling public IPs on a daily basis)

Anyway, here is a short guide on how to use Mega with MFA multi factor authentication with Duplicati:

  1. Set-up MFA in Mega in the security part of settings and copy the seed code that is shown to you.
    1a. If you already have it activated and use a non-shit MFA Tool you can also derive this from the TOTP: otpauth://totp/MEGA:*username*@*provider*.com?secret=herewouldbeacodethatyouneedtocopy&issuer=MEGA →
    herewouldbeacodethatyouneedtocopy

  2. In the second step (Destination) of the duplicati backup setup, once needs to enter the credentials and expand the advanced options. In the dropdown, select the option auth-two-factor-key and enter the previously copied herewouldbeacodethatyouneedtocopy into the new field.

  3. Test the connection and see whether you were successful.
