Yeah… Pretty supid. I setup 2 step with a physical key (which I don’t got), and it was the admin account. Pretty stupid… But how would you revert this? Or disable this if you can’t login? [image]

Can you use [your-site]/users/admin-login to bypass it?

[image] JammyDodger: [your-site]/users/admin-login Let me see. I go to a page to sent an email? Is that correct?

Yeah no doesn’t bypass it - it still required me to enter it/do it.

It should take you to a page where you enter the admin email, and then a log-in link will be sent to that address.

Yeah, that didn’t bypass it. Though I forgot I had a backup account (just incase if something like this happend), and I was able to disable the 2 step from there. Still, thank you anyway for trying to help! :slight_smile:

Glad you got it sorted. :+1::slightly_smiling_face:
