You need to log in, and for logging in you are forced to use 2FA (two-factor authentication).
Yes, we are several to think it's a pain to bother with that kind of things when you just want to give help.
I think you can turn 2FA off in your account settings but you need to log in at least once with 2FA for being able to do it.

But how to "log in at least once with 2FA" ?
What should I do when I see the page with QR code ?

I don't know TBH.
When I'm trying to log in I get this error message: "Your account has been deactivated by your administrator. Please log back in to reactivate your account."
Why my account has been deactivated is a mystery, I got no email about that. So now I don't waste my time anymore with that.

You save this *secret* into your 2FA TOTP compatible app. ex: google authenticator
