You're going to have to use the Contact Form to reach out to Omniscient to fix this. Your account will also be rep-killed (you'll lose all your reputation). Use Authy next time instead of Google Authenticator.

Hmm... well that sucks. Why do i lose all rep because of that? I haven't been on HF in months btw, I don't know any new polices.
