Enabling MFA on appwrite account locked me out of the dashboard
I went to the Account page of my appwrite console, enabled MFA expecting a mfa onboarding process but I was instead locked on a Verification page asking for a code from an authenticator I never set up. Entering any code shows a server error. How can I disable MFA now to allow me to log in?

TL;DR
Enabling MFA on the appwrite account locked developer out of dashboard. Error 'Call to a member function getAttribute() on null' observed. To disable MFA and log in, go to your Appwrite workspace through SSH, update the Appwrite container, and set "ENABLE_USERS_MFA" to "false" in /etc/appwrite/config.json file. Restart Appwrite container service to apply changes and MFA should be disabled, allowing access to the dashboard. 
Uhhh did you have a verified email?
