Hi everyone,

I looked on multiple forums but can't find an answer.

I am trying to setup 2 way authentication for the Mozilla extensions account. But i can't get past the "Confirm backup authentication code" part.

I get the error:

"There was a problem confirming your backup authentication code"

Here is the codes that i got (can be public because it's expired and i left 2 of them out):

w1bycwwp6w eym2bx8yaj wh5h7c77qv s3snv0ez0x 9aveb72jw1 x8d3rzedah

So i copy just one of them, and i get the error.

• No im not copying all of them, just one
• No i don't have spaces in there
• No there is no capitals or anything in there or caps (im copy pasting).

It's very odd and i can't upload my application.

Please advice. Anyone have some idea?

Thank you in advance!

Dear,

i opened my firefox and found my self logged out automaticly

and when am trying to login and enter the activation code sent to my email i recieve this msg

You’ve tried too many times. Please try again ⁨in 5 minutes⁩.

This is common lately. On a website they say we will send you an email to validate your email. This was with Costco for one. I click in the box so they can send me an email, then I go look and there is no email. Tried many times to no avail. Other websites too, like, click the save 10% coupon then we will send it to your email entered on the website. No email received. By the way it doesn't seem to be a pop up blocker issue.

How do i stop having to type in 6 letters when signing in now. This is new and I'd like to stop it for EVERY time I open Firefox. Once a week would be fine! Thanks

WHERE to key security code? What Page? Heading? NOTHING on any of those pages indicate "Key security code HERE." I GVE up! I have been round & round & canNOT get a response from the email that SHOULD give this information.

Hello, On March 1, I worked with the Mozilla help team to create a recovery key. Now that I need it, it says it is an MS Dos executable file, and that I can't run that file on my computer. I have tried a few workarounds from google, but really I just need my recovery key. I thought maybe this was because wordpress is no longer available on Windows PCs but I can't open it in word either, it just keeps saying it's an MS Dos executable file.

I really need the recovery key because I can't access anything on one of my computers. Can you assist?

Thank you Frances

I cannot access an account anymore due to the fact that I lost access to 2FA. I kindly request that account to be deleted.

Hello! I contacted you with a problem with the impossibility of installing two-factor authentication on my account. Despite successfully entering the code and saving backups, two-factor authentication disappears immediately after refreshing the page. Mozilla stores all my passwords and data - therefore, two-factor authentication is very important for my account.

After I enter the email and password for Gemini account, Firefox requires my verification by entering passkey. I use the Authy 2factor system as security to enter the account. I did not set up a passkey for Gemini account. I did set up a passkey on Firefox for a different account with a different email. Does that passkey work for multiple accounts??. This does not seem very secure as all someone would need to enter my accounts is my pin, which would not be too difficult to discover.

Appreciate help on this issue of security. Thanks Henry

How do i set fire fox to know and sent verification that this computer is the one i have log in to the site before i keep having to verifier it is me every time i log in to the site

Hello Roblox Support,and Firefox

My name is Ayah, and I’m having trouble accessing my Roblox account. After I accidentally clicked on a suspicious link, I was logged out and now I’m being asked for a two-factor authentication (2FA) code that I don’t recognize or have access to.

I believe my account may have been compromised, and I no longer have control over the 2FA settings. This account is very important to me, and I would really appreciate your help in recovering it as soon as possible.

Could you please help me disable the unauthorized 2FA or restore my account?

Thank you for your support, Aya Ghtasha

I am logged into my computer. When I try to sync my phone Firefox with my computer, I am asked to provide a number from an authentication app. I don't have any such authentication app and can't figure out what the Firefox one is. There does not seem to be a workaround. I can't use a backup code or reset option. I am trying to figure out what to do.

Thank you

When setting up 2fa. I scan the QR code. Enter the 6 digit pin generated by google authenticator. Download my backup codes and enter 1 when prompted then firefox says sync time and try again. I am running Ubuntu and have an android phone. Ubutu is set to automatic date. time and timezone. My phone is also set to automatic date&time. I have enabled seconds display on Ubuntu and phone the are synchronized to the second. I have tried this on multiple computers. Google authenticator works with all 9 other 2fa logins I use it for. I have tried many times and asked AI what I'm doing wrong Grok said I am not doing anything wrong after walking through the entire process. I have tried clearing cache and deleting cookies, signing out and back in without success. Please help I use firefox as my password manager and love it but want it to be as secure as possible.

thank you very much. Thomas

I have Mozilla Firefox as my browser on my i phone. I noticed an exclamation symbol saying" enter your PW to connect". I go to firefox.com/pair on my desktop. I navigate to the QR code and take a picture. I confirm the desktop with the i phone. Then it asks for 2 step verification code from an authenticator. I don't get one. So I download an Authenticator app. And nothing shows up there either. The problem is getting a code from an authenticator to complete the process. What should I do?
