Title: Losing your google authenticator Post by: roldpescuela on December 16, 2016, 11:30:58 PM ??? I lost my access to google authenticator codes (I factory reset my phone - stupid me :-[ ) so here I am, waiting for the approval for 2FA reset on all my accounts with codes... Is there a way to backup the codes (cloud)?

Just wait for approval also.
