2FA

I was using 2 factor authentication for Google authenticator, I had to format my old phone. After reinstalling the software all my authentication accounts were deleted. I don't have a recovery code either. How can I recover my account? Please help me..

    I don't know how to regain access to NextDNS account, but I recommend you the below article so you will have back up next time:

    If you’re going to start over, forget Google Authenticator and use Authy.   It has backups, can sync with multiple devices and runs on  just about every platform

      The article includes information about apps, which can replace Google Authenticator: Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, Aegis, 2FAS.  There is also link to Authy tutorial:

    yep! No way to get that from google Authenticater unless you have a backup. Meanhile a feature request to login with 3rd partie services would overcome this problem. Loging in with google acct. or facebook acct. bypass autheticator's code. Fortunaly theres no autorenewal on paid plans :D

      Neo I hope they will add Passkey and YubiKey support as well (way better than TOTP).

      (I’ll submit a suggestion)

    Go to your google drive and check the backup section to see if it backed up google authenticator. To restore that backup you need to factory reset the phone and restore the backup from the initial setup screen. Also use something like Aegis instead
