Hi Rameshti,
do you mean 'password' when you wrote 'security code'? If yes, please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Reset_password and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Logging_in#What_if_I_forget_the_password.3F
There is nothing we can do; it's up to the user.

If you did not mean 'password' when you wrote 'security code', please explain what exactly you refer to and follow https://mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug . Thanks.

(Reported problem is unrelated to the login and signup code in the MediaWiki code base, hence removing MediaWiki-User-login-and-signup tag.)

Whine I login Wikipeda. I sowing a massage "Inter a token" I don't know what's token. So I can't login wiki projects.

I guess, it's a case of Two-Factor Authentication..

Could somebody please provide a full link to the page where this can be seen?
I go to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin and I do not see something about a token.
(Maybe T107605 made it available and I just don't know how to set it up?)

In general, we need clear steps in bug reports. Otherwise we cannot help. See https://mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug

"Please enter a verification code from your authentication device

Let me ask for a third time: Please provide a full link to the page where the problem can be seen.

@Rameshti: I assume that https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Two-factor_authentication and also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simple_2FA#Emergency_tokens_:_IMPORTANT.2C_read_this provide information what you can do?
And currently I don't think there is anything to do here in Phabricator as this is up to the you?

"If you don't keep these tokens and also have a problem using your authentication device, you will be locked out of your account!"

@Rameshti: Where did you keep the tokens? What do you expect us to do?

We (SuSa) handled this last with @Tulsi_Bhagat in T159067. We will need some proof of identity before we can do the same action again.

@Rameshti - Could you please email ca@wikimedia.org from the email with which you registered your account.

How can I locked my account without login ?

@Rameshti - Could you please email ca@wikimedia.org from the email with which you registered your account.

@Tulsi_Bhagat - could you translate this question to Nepali for his benefit? Would really appreciate it. :)

jrbs claimed this task.

Upon email confirmation of the account owner's identity, I have removed 2FA from the account.

If you do enable two-factor authentication in the future, please be very careful and keep spare recovery codes. You may learn more on Meta-Wiki (currently this page is mostly in English, still).

Thanks alot @jrbs. And Sorry, i was bit away so i haven't replied here.
