Lemmy is beta software. One of the updates around the 0.19.0 mark (we're up to 0.19.5 now, with 0.19.6 around the corner) changed the login stuff. I don't remember the details, but instead of locking everyone out of their accounts, 2FA was disabled. The lemmy.world admins didn't choose this, it's just how the update worked.
I don't know what kind of communication or sticky posts were used during the upgrade, but I'm sure some people missed it, including OP.
this was not a Lemmy bug.
Right. Not a bug, but a decision by the developers in order to upgrade the 2FA stuff.
this is a separate issue unrelated to the 0.19 update.
