Hello! Had a issue with app when it wouldn't launch so I reinstalled it, now once reinstalled fixed the launch issue but no apps listed in two factor authentication section. Can I be helped to regain access to those? Can do it if I manually contact each site/app I had listed there but that would take a lot of time with credentials and other info exchange. Also, might be forced in the future to reinstall again, like new phone, how can I get acces to those without customer support? Also can I do that in windows? It would help a lot! Presently am not aware of a way to access tfa. cods in windows!

    With some more research managed to get access to everything, good thing I didn't rewrite backup once I logged in, still am interested to know if I can skip phone and get access in windows?
