typically you just disable the 2fa requirement until the issue is resolved.

If you can disable 2FA, without using 2FA to authenticate first... is it 2FA?

Many sites give you a recovery code of some sort that you can use to disable 2fa in the event you were to lose access to your authenticator app or texts.

Well I'm sure you'd have to enter your password to disable 2FA.
