Invalid authorization code when attempting to reset password

brendan128_business

I am trying to log into my mozilla firefox account for a different email, but when I try logging in, it says I need a verification code and emails me it. When I enter in the code (no more than 30 seconds after requesting the code), I get a message saying "invalid authorization code". I've tried over 10 times by this point, but it still won't accept any verification codes it sent to me.

It's probably because the signed in account takes the other account's request. Try doing it in a private window.

I should have specified, but the account I'm currently using was created after having sign-in issues, so the problem was occurring even when only 1 account existed.

Also, I tried using a new code while in private mode, but I got the same results.

Try to login to the Firefox Account via this website.
