Change Details

I am user:Barek, and primarily edit on en.wiki. I am requesting that two-factor authentication be disabled on my account. Due to a cell phone failure, my Google Authenticator app lost all data. Afterwards, I also learned that my printout of hard-copy backup code had been lost. As a result, I have lost the ability to log into my account on new devices. However, I still have access on my home laptop (at least until such time as I get logged out or my laptop dies). Unfortunately, I also cannot disable two-factor authentication myself as the two-factor code is also required to disable it in my own preferences section.
