Please why is your 2 step verification cumbersome. I have tried to set it up without success since yesterday. its wasting my time and it looks someone is using my passwords to access my other details including my accounts. The Number codes are always wrong and would not allow the 2 steps auty to continue

I don't use it and shouldn't because if you messup on 2FA there no way to fix or change this and Firefox forum can't help with 2FA lockout as that requires your Primary email to work to verify this and make changes. So unless your using sync maybe but my personal experience 2FA is a good way to lockout yourself not someone else.

If the generated TOTP code is wrong then usually this is a problem with the time being off (code is only valid for 30 seconds). Make sure that the date/time on the mobile device is correct and use a trusted internet time service.
