Phone with 2FA Bricked, Scared to Log Out - HannibalBarca - Jan 31, 2017
My phone bricked last night, and I had to revert it to a state from 3-4 months ago. Unfortunately this means my HF 2FA is no longer on GAuth. Does anyone have any suggestions? If I log out I won't be able to log back in

You should make sure you enable the GAuth backup feature; and consider using/adding your keys to the website app.

Disable your gauth now or you will risk losing your account.

Do as people have suggested by disabling it then you can install the google chrome app called Authy to use it again.

+1 for Authy, you can set it up on all your devices (Chrome, iOS, Android, etc.) and sync/backup your 2FA keys for free. Easy to use app, and secure.
