Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

How come do you have Google authentication when you setup your Electrum , I just installed mine and I didn't use it since long time ago and seems like there is only TrustedCoin for 2FA .

I made 2 step authentication, thats why I have this stupid GOOGLE AUTHENTICATION. Don't know what to do, seems like I stucked with the BTC Sad Sad Sad

I'm more then sure that you didn't lose your coins and you can get them back .
If you still can't send your bitcoins anywhere then I'd suggest you to restore your Electrum using your seed and that should cancel the Two Factor-Authentication part and you should be able to send your coins wherever you want to without any issues however if you don't have the seed somewhere then I'm afraid there isn't much you could do .
The seed won't be able to help at all.

To send transactions with the 2fa, you need to pay TrustedCoin, which is the service that does the two factor authentication. It should be something that is automatic when you send the transaction, and they will just ask you for the authenticator code.

He should be able to restore his funds from the seed and go back to normal instead of 2FA according to the documentations : http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/2fa.html

Quote
Even if TrustedCoin is compromised or taken offline, your coins are secure as long as you still have the seed of your wallet. Your seed contains two master private keys in a 2-of-3 security scheme. In addition, the third master public key can be derived from your seed, ensuring that your wallet addresses can be restored. In order to restore your wallet from seed, select “wallet with two factor authentication”, as this tells Electrum to use this special variety of seed for restoring your wallet.

Oh, missed that.

OP do that and send ALL of your bitcoin to a normal wallet.
