If you loose your github 2FA, they will ask that you prove your identity by SSHing to some host and providing them with the token returned by that host

- mnkmnk 10y agoI had recently reset phone and had lost my 2FA recovery codes. This was how I was able to recover my account.
- elahd 10y agoTake a look at Authy as a drop-in replacement for your Google Authenticator app. Codes are encrypted and stored on Authy's servers -- they can be re-synced to your phone after a wipe. There's also a Chrome plugin that syncs with the mobile app.
- colejohnson66 10y agoHow do we know it's encrypted in a way they can't see?

- Johan-bjareholt 10y agoYou can also have a backup phone number on most websites (google, github, dropbox). If you lose your phone you call your carrier to block that sim card and request a new one anyway, so you're not locked out.
- eli 10y agoAnd how well does your carrier verify your identity?
- shujito 10y agoNow this worries me, beacause in my country you just call to your carrier and ask the number to be deleted, you just need to provide your name, then anyone can cancel your number.
- colejohnson66 10y agoWhat country, may I ask?
- shujito 10y agoMexico About my previous reply, that is if I recall correctly, I remember being able to cancel numbers of lost phones providing the number and the name of the owner (in this case, one time I lost my number, other times my dad lost his')
