+--- Thread: [Account Help] Locked out of my account due to Gauth (/showthread.php?tid=5417786)
Locked out of my account due to Gauth - Monetizer - Sep 27, 2016
My username: єץє
I have been part of HF for years. I have Ub3r and everything. A while back I enabled Gauth but I have no idea how to use this anymore..
I am patiently waiting for a response from HF staff. Used the contact form a while back 🤝
It won't be a problem to prove anything I need to prove. Most likely my IP will be the same as well.

Go through the "contact" button on the main navigation bar.
Most likely, your account will be closed since Admins don't usually deal with explanations.
Next time, use Authy or some other 2FA app that allows backing up, unlike Gauth.

I believe that if you lose your account due to GAuth, you will be repkilled before your access is restored.

That's surprising to me.
A few months ago there was an explosion of people losing access to their accounts due to Gauth and there were mega threads being made about how to set up Authy instead of Gauth.

So what do I do? PM Omni?

What?
By the way I checked my phone and I have Authy on it. Just nothing I enter is making it work. I probably thought Authy would just give me a verification message anytime I wanted to log into HF but apparantly I have to enter a password on Authy right now which I'm locked out of 😵

You believe wrong, I've seen many users including myself losing access to my auth account and not being rep killed, there is a CHANCE of being repkilled.

Hope so. I requested a rep fuck once but I don't want a second one. I will wait patiently for Omni because I know he is a busy man.
