I finally found my phone - ♠ɪᴄᴇ♠ - Aug 27, 2017
Hi Guys!
I was mostly active in 2015 and 2016, and like most of the users here I enabled 2 Gauth Authentication on my account when it first came out. I was using one of the earlier apps for this feature (Google authenticator), and my 2 gauth was only local to my phone. Long story short, I lost my phone, and after being logged out of my account on the site, I was never able to log back in again. Just recently my older brother dug it up in his room while cleaning the place out. I booted that baby up and I'm finally back on hackforums. Look forward to seeing how the place has shaped up since it has definitely been a while.
+Definitely gonna switch over to Authy when I get the chance

I just activated 2FA, I'm not sure if that was a good idea or not because of how forgetful I am. Either way welcome back dood!

Yeah. If you just make sure you set up with the write authenticator app you should be fine. Btw...I just realized that mid March gauth was reset for every account anyway to give users a second chance. Welp. found the phone in the end.
