Hi @Bendik-he

If you’ve lost access to your two-factor authentication (2FA) credentials, you can regain access to your account by using your recovery codes or another recovery option. Please visit GitHub’s Virtual Assistant to explore your available options.

If GitHub doesn’t support 2FA via text message in your country, you’ll need to set up authentication using a TOTP application. For more information on configuring 2FA with a TOTP app, here is the documentation.

Please visit our FAQ or explore similar discussions in case you have additional questions.

If you’re unable to resolve your issue with the resources above, please open a ticket in our Support Portal, as no other Community Discussions team members will be able to assist with account-related questions.
We appreciate your understanding!
