Expected behavior

I want to switch from using one 2FA authenticator to another. I click "Change / Modify 2FA" which takes me to a page where I enter my password, then a page where I select "Authorization and Publishing", then I expect to be taken to a page with a QR code that my authenticator can scan.

Actual behavior

Instead, (presumably because I already had 2FA configured) the QR page gets skipped and I'm taken back to the settings homepage with a confirmation message.

Steps to reproduce the problem

See above.

Browser with version

Chrome 65.0.3325.162

Any error message?

No.

You will have to disable 2FA, then re-enable it to get a new QR code to use another authenticator.

You can swap between auth-only and auth-and-writes without doing the QR code dance.
