Hi there!

You can overwrite this option by setting some environment variables, such as:

```
  - OVERWRITE_SETTING_Accounts_TwoFactorAuthentication_Enforce_Password_Fallback=false
  - OVERWRITE_SETTING_Accounts_TwoFactorAuthentication_Enabled=false

```

You can change almost all configuration using this technique.

You can also change directly from the database, if you know how to do it:

please, let me know if this worked for you.

Thanks!!
