Gauth/2FA: Enabled 16-04-2017
Yup. Either you did this and lost your Gauth, or that account isn't yours.

You probably won't get the account back.

Don't bother. HF does not assist with account recoveries.

Account recovery is no longer an option we offer.

You lose your authenticator, that's on you, you get no recoveries.

I don't think that you will be able to recover your account OP. You must have been cautious.

Compromised and Stolen Accounts

In the instance your Hack Forums account is compromised or lost, your options are limited.

Use the contact form, and choose "Stolen/Lost Account" for a subject. Provide as much detail as you can. If the staff discovers your account was compromised, it will be closed to prevent damage to the account and scams.

If you have lost access to your account because of credentials like your email, password, or 2FA we will not assist you with account recovery.

If any account is stolen or lost and then has Deal Disputes threads, scammer B-Ratings, or Deal Dispute Database entries against the account it will be closed and marked as "lost/stolen scammer" and you will not be allowed to return to the community under any condition.

All account reported lost or stolen are potentially subject to account closure at the discretion of the admin. If you lost your credentials you are irresponsible. If your account was stolen you are not security minded.

All upgraded accounts now have full access to our Gauth (2-factor authentication) account security feature. It is highly advised you enable it. On the Gauth page are instructions to backup your security key in case of a lost, stole, or reset device. It's vital you have a backup method because we will not guarantee account recovery. Gauth enables you to secure your account and the burden is on you to maintain your own account security.

So it's clear to everyone, HF accounts cannot be shared, transfered, or sold. Any evidence we have that gives us the impression an account is no longer in full possession of the original account owner is subject to being closed.

We reserve the right to close any account for any reason at any time.

Even after reading the Help Docs countless times. I didn't come across this. Haha. Thank for this. Time to read it again and again.

Maybe your account cracked or you setup 2FA but you lost your key.
Once i lost my Binance 2FA key, i lost over 0.14 BTC . Just start with new account, nothing you can do here. You can't prove that you didnt sold account / it yours. Even if you provide registration e-mail / registration IP...
Contribute and do trades like u do before, and build up your trust. Thats the best you can do here. :/


RE: I didn't enable 2FA .. please help - Nuworld - Apr 28, 2019

OP you should have backups saved just for this issue.
However account recovery is no longer a option.
It’s your responsibility to take care of your account login information.

Per Omni regarding account recovery:

Goodluck OP. No chance on recovery now.

Edit: you have 200 posts, so not even worth the effort. Just re-purchase is the only thing left to do.


RE: I didn't enable 2FA .. please help - Omniscient - Apr 28, 2019

The IP of the Gauth enable matches your normal account usage. You enabled it about 2 years ago. You didn't backup your key and likely got a new phone or did a reset at some point.

Basically it seems like you've lost the account permanently.
