Facing the same issue right now. I have submitted a support request.

 

By the way, I think you really should give an option to send the authentication code to the registered number when it's not possible to get them from an authentication app. Although, it defeats the purpose of actually securing the 2FA, but since you still have authentication option through text messages anyway, it should be an option.

Hi, 

 

I no longer have my old phone since it stopped working after I dropped it in water. I have a new phone now. Due to this, I no longer have my authenticator app. This is causing a lot of problems. In order to remove or update my authenticator app in my profile settings, I need the code from the previous one. I do not have this. I have access to my email, my phone & remember the answer to my security question. What do I need to do to get rid of the authenticator app problem??

I set up a new device and reset my older device. Unfortunately, now I can't get code anymore from the authenticator app which is my recommended security option. Yet I also can't change anything on account settings because it requires the authenticator code, it also doesn't provide alternative means to get the code whether email or through phone number. I stuck and really can't do anything on account settings, kindly assist!

Hello,

 

I had to take a brief hiatus and upon logging back in and attempting to go to my profile I am asked for a confirmation code from an authenticator. I don't remember setting up an authenticator for this site. 

 

Is there a way to send a confirmation by SMS instead so I can then setup the authenticator for future use?

 

Thank you,

Russell
