- acruns 6y agotypically you just disable the 2fa requirement until the issue is resolved.
- alanbernstein 6y agoIf you can disable 2FA, without using 2FA to authenticate first... is it 2FA?
- adrianpike 6y agoWell I'm sure you'd have to enter your password to disable 2FA. /s, obviously.
- deadwing0 6y agoMany sites give you a recovery code of some sort that you can use to disable 2fa in the event you were to lose access to your authenticator app or texts.
- mrgzg1 6y agoLiterally wasted my whole day on this :(
- partiallypro 6y agoOff topic, but I had 2FA setup on my phone for various things, and had it stolen overseas. I was able to lock the phone and erase it...but I was stuck overseas without being able to access anything or reset it. There has to be a better way.

- partiallypro 6y agoI did have some keys backed-up in the Cloud. One issue is that because I was overseas a lot of security protocols locked me out of my accounts -despite- my keys and required an SMS message first...which of course I didn't have a phone with my SIM, so it was impossible to do.
