Redmine

"Two-factor authentication" on a new user form is always showing "Not activated". Of course, this is because a user about to be created can never activate it.

I think it should be removed from the new user form. The item "Two-factor authentication" is necessary when editing an existing user, but is not useful when creating a new user because it always, only shows "Two-factor authentication: Not activated".

The indication not only useless but sometimes confuses admins. In my observation, some people misunderstood that two-factor authentication cannot be used on the Redmine instance.
