Hi. My account got blocked, and it asked me to reset my password. I can do that successfully because I can send the code to one of 2 numbers, or my email address. Show Then when I try and log in, it only gives me the option of one number to send the verification code to. And that number no longer exist. If I can only get it to send the code to my email or current number (which is loaded on my account already). But it seems I cant. I tried creating a different account with another email, but it wont work on my phone because its already registered with the current account. I cant see any way around this. I can't even wipe and reset my phone because I need to log into samsung first. This is the worse 2 factor authentication design I have ever seen. How do I get back into my account if I cant change the wrong number they send the coed to????? This is same as Apple too. But Apple has a different way, account can add 2nd trust numbers for 2FA. If you did not set 2nd trust number, will end up in the same scenario. So Samsung account backup code kind of like 2nd trust phone numbers. But 2nd trust phone numbers can be removed too if someone can login to that account. Therefore, backup code is better, at least people cannot get rid of it. But the problem is...how many users will keep their codes and do they remember where they put 😅 Very good topic to remind me...where is my code?? 🤔 Actually, I trusted my computer browser and tablet browser that do not require 2FA. Therefore, I do not have anything to worry. I still able to login to my account or request password change without 2FA at home computers. You could do that for your home devices to skip the 2FA.
