  Hi. I’ve recently had to replace a stolen phone and lost access to two-step authentication. The “safe place” with my printed-out passwords was a wallet stolen at the same time.

  I don’t seem to be able to access the code generator without logging in with two-step in the first place… leaving me pretty much stuck.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks pcosta88, but it doesn’t seem as bad as that yet. i can still and access and post for now (although I suppose that will change when ‘remember me’ expires in a little bit).

  Anything I could do before a recovery request?
