Description

I'm running a fresh install of the latest gitea Docker image behind a nginx reverse proxy (Using the docker-compose file posted below). When trying to enable 2FA for any user and entering the PIN the first time, there is no change (not even the message, that I entered the wrong PIN) and when I wait for a new 2FA code to be generated and enter that one, I get an error message, that my PIN is incorrect and I should try again.
I'm using FreeOTP+ as my 2FA app on my mobile phone and it works well with at least 2 other gitea instances (versions 1.4.1 and 1.1.0+1348-ge5fd43c23; both running not inside Docker as far as I know)
