One way to recover your account is by utilizing backup codes. These codes are typically provided during the setup of 2FA and can be used to bypass the authentication process in case of emergencies.

Before proceeding with any recovery method, be prepared to confirm your identity. This may involve answering a series of security questions or providing proof of ID, such as a copy of your passport or driver's license.
