Being sent in a horrible loop on two factor authentication, NEED HELP FROM HUMAN

    I got a new phone and no longer have access to two factor authentication. I do not have backup codes either. I tried to submit the account recovery forum, but it wouldn’t submit, and just told me to reset my password, despite entering a transaction ID and giving significant details on the issue. I have a paid account, but I cannot speak to a human unless I can log in, and I can’t log in so I can’t speak to a human. In fact, I had to create an entirely new account from a different email address just to be able to post this. I really, really need a human on staff to see this post and help me out.

    Getting stuck in a two-factor authentication loop is extremely frustrating—especially when you can’t reach a real person for help. The best approach is to try account recovery options, backup codes, or trusted devices, and keep attempting official support channels until you can regain access.
