My Google takeout doesn't work because it requires a 2FA from Google authenticator which I no longer have.

- judge2020 2y agoYou could attempt to get that 2fa removed by trying to sign in from a new device and following the steps to recover your account.

- ranger_danger 2y agoWe don't know if they're logged in or not, they did not specify
- AyyEye 2y agoYou replied to my comment about logging in just fine.
- judge2020 2y agoBack in 2018 I was able to recover a long-lost account by answering questions about when i created it and confirming an old phone number attached to it.
- AyyEye 2y agoThe issue isn't 2fa it's Google authenticator. When I log in from a new device lets me log in using my phone as 2fa but that is not an option for takeout -- only authenticator. I can find no way to remove it.
- ranger_danger 2y agoGoogle authenticator is a type of 2FA. They are saying that if you can figure out a way to remove 2FA from your account, then you can re-add it with the current authenticator app you have, which will allow you to use Takeout.
