hello i need help on recovering my account narimantas12@gmail.com. A few weeks ago i got disconnected from my account on a computer, when i went for 2 setp authentication app there was no Firefox code on it, and add to that in my stupidity i did not create a recovery code backup. I lost access to that account. If it helps, i still got a device that is synchronized to that account.

There is no workaround possible for lost access due to 2FA.

You will have to create a new Firefox Account and connect all devices to that account. If you decide to enable 2FA then make sure to keep a backup of the recovery code or keep a backup of the (decoded) QR code. Start with connecting the device that has your data.


If the device with your data is a desktop device then you can also transfer data directly.

You can copy certain files with Firefox closed to the current profile folder to transfer or recover personal data. Note that best is to avoid copying a full profile folder.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).

narimantas97, just thinking that it might be best not to publish real email addresses on a public forum?

Anyway, according to the article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-if-im-locked-out-two-step-authentication#w_i-lost-my-two-step-authentication-device-but-i-have-another-logged-in-device , under the heading "I lost my two-step authentication device but I have another logged-in device." it says: "If you're locked out of your account but have a device still logged in via two-factor authentication, you can use that device to disable two-factor authentication" So you could try those instructions. Hope they work for you, but it might be the case that your other synced device would need to already be fully logged in.
