Disable 2FA for User:Alangi_Derick on Wikitech
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Please, I would like 2FA to be disabled for my Wikitech account as I've lost my device (phone) and I don't have a way to get the tokens. Thanks!

Event Timeline

The most common identity confirmation I've seen for Wikitech 2FA resets is to create a file in your home folder on a Toolforge/Cloud VPS bastion referencing this ticket, eg ~/T222663 with contents Please reset my Wikitech 2FA.. (Password reset § Reset two factor authentication) Another option is to email ca at wikimedia dot org from the email associated with your account and include a link to this ticket.

Yes please - either or both of these options would be perfect.

@jrbs, @JJMC89, thanks a lot for the options. I've just follow option one for creating a ticket file on Toolforge.

Thanks - just be sure to let me know where you put it.

At the root (~/) of my bastion as proposed by @JJMC89. The name of the file is this ticket ID :)
