    Hi @mcyd2wiauw,

    I completely understand your need to recover access to your 12yo website.

    Since you no longer have the 2FA phone number, you can use the account recovery process. To start, visit the Lost Password page, click “Need More Help?” and then “Recover my account”. You’ll need to provide either a transaction ID from a past purchase, an activation URL/key from your signup email, or other verification information.

    I hope that helps :)

    Additionally, I strongly advise against sharing any private information, including login and payment details, in this forum to protect your security.
