2 Factor recovery methods

Recommended Posts

2FA is nice and I'm glad its finally been added. 

Until I got a new phone and don't have access to my Google Authenticator accounts anymore (my fault, I didn't know I had to transfer them) since they don't save on the cloud.

 

I messaged support to hopefully recover my account a few days ago but no response yet. I know you're all busy, that's okay I guess.

 

Backup codes/SMS fallback need to be implemented to avoid situations like this.

You could use Authy instead of Google Authenticator, the app have Backup and multiple devices options + more, i do use it to recover/save ands have my security at the top.
