The phone that I used for two factor authentication is dead. I have a new phone and i'm in the process of restoring everything.
Unfortunately, when it comes to pawb.social, i'm not gonna be able to disable 2FA because, to do so, i am asked for a 2FA code. Which i could get if my old phone was still working, but it isn't.
EDIT forgot to mention: at the time i set up 2FA on this account, i was not given backup codes. The text file where i store them just says "Lemmy: they didn't give me any". I don't remember what the circumstances were back then
The app i'm using is Aegis Authenticator.
I can still access this account because i never logged out of it on PC, but i'm building a new PC right now so i'll lose the account.
I'm not asking for anyone to disable it in the backend, that would be a security issue. Not sure what to do, honestly it's not that big a deal to delete the account and remake.
Of course it's great that this instance has 2FA in the first place, but then this issue arises.
I searched this c/ for this topic and it looks like i'm the first to raise this.
Thanks for everything you guys do
This is my first time hearing about this. I'll see if this is a viable option.
Thanks!
