Prior to embarking on Account Recovery, suggest that you confirm that you indeed CAN’T receive a 2FA verification code via a pre-configured Trusted Number which you might have simply forgotten you had configured.


The “sending” process provides “drop downs” of the number(s) which you have configured.


Select “Didn’t Get a Code?” or “Can’t get to your devices?” on the verification code screen.
