@[email protected]: you’ve heard of two factor authentication. you’re heard of three factor authentication. now get ready for just never being able to fucking log in at all
I kept seeing a popup about adding a phone number because I might lose access to my account. I removed the phone number a decade ago. You mean my recovery email, OTP code, and backup codes can’t be used for recovery motherfucker!?!
Anyway I exported everything and closed my account because the fascists can eat a dick.
They may work, this was years ago before OTP was so widespread, and I don’t remember if it had a recovery email associated or not. I just remember I had the right password and it wouldn’t let me in anyway
Same thing happened to me. Recovery email means nothing to them, even with the correct username and password and recovery email code, I’m still locked out that account
