Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks/issues/1111

When trying to enable 2fa, I'm getting an error 500. Enabling the debug mode it says:

No SMTP configuration, see https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks#sending-emails

Request Method: | GET

An error message (without enabling debug mode) would be helpful.

And: Why I can't enable totp without smtp? 🤔

On startup in the logs you should see even with DEBUG=False:

WARNINGS:
?: (hc.api.W002) settings.EMAIL_HOST is not set, cannot send email
	HINT: See https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks#sending-emails

And: Why I can't enable totp without smtp?

Healthchecks sends a verification code to your email address before sensitive actions – adding/removing 2FA, changing email, changing password.
