Title: google authentificator
Post by: Linkydr on January 24, 2018, 12:20:36 PM
I have a question, the answer is not found.
if I have no seed. I can go in my wallet. See the parishes. When i try to send coins Electrum asks for code from google authentificator.
 I don't have since removed for a long time program.

Question : is it possible somehow to remove this ? reset ? request again ?

If it is asking for a code from Google Authenticator, then it appears that you have setup an Electrum 2FA wallet.

As per the docs from TrustedCoin (https://api.trustedcoin.com/#/electrum-help), the only way to remove (or reset) the 2FA requirement is with the 12 word seed. If you don't have the seed, then you cannot restore the wallet :-\

If you still remember what email address you used when originally setting up the wallet, you might be able to contact TrustedCoin (https://api.trustedcoin.com/#/contact-us) and see if they will send you the QR code necessary to reset the Google Authenticator.

2fa is usually a cell phone. Why not restore the google auth app to another cell phone? In the documentation for the google auth there is a procedure for changing from one phone to another.

Caveat - I don't know that that works if you have long ago deinstalled the auth, but it is worth looking into.
