Resetting security info

Anonymous

Unfortunately I recently lost my phone and my account password saved in my password manager is incorrect.

As my phone used the Authenticator app as one of the 2FA methods, I cannot reset my password with just a text code.

I am still signed into my email account from my laptop which is the only access I currently have.

If I start the process of resetting my security info, which has a 30 day waiting period, can I clarify whether I will lose access through currently signed in devices/browsers?

    Hi. I'm Brian and I'll try to help.

    What I'd do in your situation is to disable 2FA first, then change the password. Yes, you'll need to wait the 30 days. That's mandatory.
