I am having trouble logging in after my mobile died and the login requires a 2fa, i dont know my backup code either, my main account is justb612 can we implement a recovery system for the 2fa or something? How does that even work?

a recovery system for the 2fa

The problem with that is that it fully defeats 2FA. As the point of 2FA is to prevent unauthorized access to your account even if your email were compromised.

So, either @The Traveler or @dreamer042 have to do it manually. I've already written to them about it.

As a sidenote, an advantage of having a PGP key and sharing it in the keychain thread is to be able to prove your identity in cases like this.

I know I just have a few messages I would like to answer at this point but its fine, we can all roll a joint while we wait

Thanks for the help as always!

2FA had been disabled for your account.


Kind regards,
