2FA help please!

[btcwish1]

Dear all,

I am using the stand alone exe for electrum wallet.   I set it up and enabled the 2FA. But i forgot to take backup of the qr code.  I still have my phone.

But I prefer to take backup of the qr code so that in case I loose my phone, I can set it up in new phone.  I checked every where in the UI but can't any where to either disable/enable or get more info about 2FA.

Can you please advise what can be done.  Many Thanks

you can restore your wallet from seed, and request a new Google Authenticator code during the restore process.

Thanks for your reply. How exactly I can restore? because when I click the exe, it opens the console and ask me to enter password which I do and it just opens up my wallet?  thanks

When wallet is open then you need to click on File-New/Restore option,select option that you have a seed and that you want to create 2FA wallet.You have option to disable 2FA or keep it/in this case you need to choose option I don't have my Google Authenticator code so you can restore them.

This should solve your problem with 2FA,but be careful and keep your seed on safe place-it is only thing that can restore your wallet even if you lose your phone/2FA.
