Locked out of account?
Locked out of account?
Updated over a week ago

If you're locked out of your two-factor authentication (2FA) account, it can be quite frustrating, but there are steps you can take to regain access. Here's a guide on what to do:

  1. Check for iCloud Backup: Did you activate iCloud backup when you first set it up? If so you can simply open the app and the codes will be automatically imported if you are logged into the same iCloud account.

  2. Contact Their Customer Support: If you can't find your backup codes or if you didn't set up any, the next step is to contact customer support for the service you're trying to access. Most websites and platforms have a support system in place for situations like this. They may ask you to provide some form of identification or answer security questions to verify your identity before assisting you in removing or resetting your 2FA.

  3. Recovery Email or Phone Number: Some services allow you to use a recovery email address or phone number to regain access to your account. Check if you have these options available and follow the instructions provided by them.

  4. Prevent Future Lockouts: Once you regain access to your account, consider setting up iCloud backup methods for 2FA inside our app. This can help prevent similar lockout situations in the future.

Remember, while 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your accounts, it's crucial to have contingency plans in place in case you ever get locked out. Always keep backup codes or alternative recovery methods handy to avoid potential issues with accessing your accounts.
