So your account has not gone away, nor has it been deleted, nor has any magic happened; your account is still there safe and sound on Google's servers, it's just that the settings in this one mobile app have been wiped, correct?
- kevingadd 13y agoWithout the settings in your authenticator you're locked out of accounts that require a 2-factor token from it, unless you've got backup tokens printed out.
- julianz 13y agoYes, but this is the mobile app that lets you log into your account on Google.

- bdcravens 13y agoCorrect. As long as you have a backup method of logging in (one time use password, phone # recovery, etc) you can get back in and register new 2FA.
- Groxx 13y agoWell, depends on where you're looking. The app's record of the account has gone away. Given that this is an authentication app, that's a rather serious problem.
