Deactivated Facebook with 2FA, now can't reactivat and 2FA doesn't work

Posted by kayedizi on Friday January 25, 2019 @01:29PM
from the self-post dept.

I deactivated the account, removed all the 3rd party apps with 2FA, now I want to reactivate it, it's asking for the 2FA code which is not working. No SMS nor Code generator.

I have the password and the number associated with the account, no email access tho :((

Pleasee Help :((

I really feel for you and I hope you regain access to your account soon, BUT, at the same time, if I were in your shoes, I would love it if the process was long and painful -- that just proves very good security practices for their service and would make me feel secure.

I hate when websites provide 2FA/U2F/... and then you can just trick their support into resetting your account password.
