There is no MFA override code. That would defeat the entire purpose of having MFA, which I realize might be a difficult concept to grasp but it's fundamentally how security works.

You need to generate a new recovery key from your device while you still have access — and if you don'

There is no MFA override code. That's how MFA works -- if anyone could just generate one, your account wouldn't be secure. Read the documentation in section 4.2 about account recovery flows and check the logs to see which device triggered the reset request. If you can'

We don't have MFA override codes for security reasons — if we did, they'd be a huge vulnerability. What you can do:

  1. Check your backup recovery methods (authenticator app, SMS, or any pre-configured backup phone/email). We keep those on file from when you set up 2FA.
  2. If you have an active session open elsewhere (mobile app logged in while trying to log into desktop), use that to disable MFA temporarily.
  3. For full account recovery: create a ticket via our support portal with your original signup email and any purchase history/transaction IDs from the last 6 months. That's how we verify identity without 2FA access.

Response time for manual verification is usually within 4 business hours if you provide all requested info upfront.
