Hi!

I have just restored my phone to defaults and I lost google authenticator settings.
I still have access to my wallet but I cannot send anything without the security code.

Any ideas how to restore it?

Thanks in advance for your response

When you created your 2FA wallet, you are given a 24 words seed. You can choose the option "Restore a wallet or import keys" and "Wallet with 2 Factor Authentication". Note that by doing this, your 2FA wallet cannot be used anymore. You need to create another wallet and send all your funds to there.

Yeah, you'll need to either restore your wallet from the seed or restore your 2FA from the backup code used to generate the 2FA ( or perhaps a full backup of your phone has the 2FA?). I had an issue once where Google Authentication wiped all my codes on a restore as well. I haven't used Google Auth since and have switched to Authy which I find works much better and allows for backups as well.
