- Bayu26New member | Level 2I can't log in to my account, I've lost my mobile number and I've changed phones, and I don't have a backup code number. How can I log back in when I'm being asked for two-factor verification. Please help me

Please help meUnfortunately, if you no longer have access to your phone to receive the two-factor verification code and you no longer have your backup codes, it wouldn't be possible to sign in to the account unless you have another active device already signed in to receive the code.

Hey mosi3311, thanks for reaching out to us about this, and sorry to hear that you're having trouble.
Could you let me know the precise message you get, when you try to log into your account? Feel free to send a few screenshots my way too (just make sure none of your personal info is shown there).
Also, if I understand correctly, you still have access to the email address linked to the account, right?
Let me know more!

Hi Future ndlovu, if I understand correctly, you're also having an issue accessing your account, because you've lost your phone.
Have you checked this article with some relevant info?
If nothing helps, I would suggest opening a support request with our team. You can do so, by following these steps:

I hope this helps!
