    If you lose access to your 2FA methods, our team can help you get back in once we can verify it's you during support hours. We have also just launched a dedicated MOCA 2FA Reset Agent that troubleshoots 2FA issues and, when safe, completes a reset without waiting for human assistance if it's outside of support hours. Check out this post for more information.

     

    Personally I set mine up so that I use an authenticator on my phone as my main option, and then SMS 2FA as a backup so even if I change my phone I can still get in and won't end up locked out. Hope this helps, feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
