Hi Folks, I can't seem to setup MFA via my Mozilla profile. I'm using the Google Auth App on my mobile. Have checked that time is synced correctly. Have tried setting up on my mobile and PC. Shall I try a different Authenticator App?

I am having trouble signing into my account ******@gmail.com. I no longer have an authenticator app account and I used all of my backup codes. I do have a recovery key though. I hope this helps in recovering access to my account.

Mozilla will not let me sign into my Amazon account without using a passkey. I have never established a passkey and I do not wish to use my phone to sign in and without using one of those two options, my computer is completely locked and I have to shut it down and reboot or sign out of Microsoft in order to regain service. I have deleted Firefox from my phone...I have deleted the Amazon app from my phone, and I unsynched everything before I did so. I have errased all of my cookies and cleared the cash. I use an Apple phone which is equipped with an excellent browser, and unless I can find some work around for this I am going to delete Firefox from my PC as well.

Mozilla - SICK TO DEATH - of a product that has poor or zero customer support. Now like FireFox. Been loyal to this Browser for many years and in return - zero customer support. trying to sign up for THIS crap "help" not from FireFox of course, but from "VOLUNTEERS" so NOT Mozilla/FireFox and they don't get paid to help the company?? Bad biz all around.

Why do I have my time wasted "solving a problem" THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE??

"Signing Up" for this "help" group - typed in my email addy, chose a password, then received a "Code" to verify my email. Received ERROR message "Bad Request (400) from FireFox??? asked to be sent a NEW code - did that 3 times - receiving THE SAME EXACT BAD CODE 3 TIMES!! but oh, somehow I'm in to this "help" group anyway. How will I get in again?? or come back to check on answers WITH NO PASSWORD???

Anyone else have this type of deliberate Obstruction method of getting help?? This is NOT even the main issue I wanted to get help.

Since yesterday I cannot log in to my hotmail accounts via Mozilla. It keeps coming up with the message "Please retry with a different device or other authentication method to sign in". I select sending a code to an email to try a different way but it doesn't even send the code either so I simply cannot log in

I can log in via Microoft Edge so the issue appears to be with Mozilla but I have no idea what has happened or how to fix it

I love Mozilla so do not want to be forced to use Microsoft Edge :-(

I recovered my account using a backup code and set a new password. Two-step authentication is enabled but I don’t have the linked TOTP app. The settings UI does not allow disabling 2FA and does not offer backup code input. I still have unused 10-character backup recovery codes. Please advise.

i AM SICK OF THIS. eVERYTHING i HAVE ALREADY IS PROTECTED. i DO NOT NEED fIREFOX BLOCKING ME OR SENDING MESSAGES TO A PHONE THAT IS DOWNSTAIRS. do YOU KNOW HOW IRRITATING THIS> i GUESS IT IS TIME TO FIRE YOU AND FIND ANOTHER BROWSER THAT IS NOT DISRUPTING MY LIFE.

Hi everyone,

I have been stuck for 3 days now and tried everything to get pass the authentication process.

I want to submit an Add on. On my profile page, 2 step authentication is enabled.

When i click submit new add-on, i am directed to the Enable two-step authentication page anyway. So ok i'll do that:

"Scan authentication code to continue to Add-ons"

So i use google authenticator. And im able to continue.

Then im presented with "Save backup authentication codes", so i download them and store them.

PROBLEM:

On the next page, in need to "Confirm backup authentication code". ANY code i try, that was given to me in the previous step, doesn't work.

Error: There was a problem confirming your backup authentication code.

• not using caps or whatever
• no spaces in there
• tried all the codes
• tried different browsers
• The time and date are correct on both phone and windows 10

I have NO clue what to do anymore. I can't get passed it. Can someone please advice. (see screenshots)

Hi,

I'd like to import my bookmarks on a newly installed Firefox system. To do this, I need to log in and enter a verification code. This code arrives by email, but only after a few hours. So it's too late to enter it.

Best regards

Hey, I have a new laptop and want to login to my account. My account is an hotmail.com one. After giving the password Mozilla is suppose to send me an email with an authentification number. The email is not coming. Not in the spam section, anywhere. Tried multiple times, same issue. Add Mozilla to my contact list, nothing changes. Tried to change my Mozilla account email address, not possible as I need to pass through this process again. Is my only option to delete my account and creat a new one with another email address?

About two years ago, I created an account on Mozilla, and by then I'd already set up two-step authentication using the app's Authenticator. But then I had to reset Windows and lost my backup keys and other stuff. Soon after, I experimented with other browsers and forgot about Firefox (I also deleted the Firefox profile in the Authenticator app). Now I've decided to log into my account, but since I can't log in without the app, I figured there's an option to log in using the email linked to the account (I have access to it), but for some reason, they're asking me for an account recovery key. So, I know my email address and have the password for it, but I can't log into my account without the Authenticator app. To try this alternative, I need to know the account recovery key, but I've lost it too. So, I'd be very grateful if anyone knows a solution to this problem. For reference, I also logged out of my Mozilla account on other devices and I haven't received any emails related to this situation (like checking email, etc.).

Hello, i installed windows again and now I wanted to get firefox again, I want to login and get that Code sended to my email, but after I click on the button where I have to write that code it saya unexpexted error

I was going through my account settings today and noticed that two factor was disabled. I thought this odd as I usually set it up on any account I use, so I of course turned it on and went about linking my authenticator app and generating account recovery codes. Yet in my authenticator app there was already a Mozilla account with my email, but the codes it supplied did not work. I also found old account recovery codes I had written down which did not work either.

What could have happened to cause this? I must have had two factor on sometime in the past and added it to my app and generated recovery codes. How could it have been disabled, the old codes made invalid, and Microsoft authenticator unlinked? Am I looking at an account breach somehow? I have no unusual activity as far as I can tell and no recent data or password breaches. The only thing I can think of was I removed a number of old devices from my account and signed out of them, but I still own the old PC's so no one could be using them.

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!

For a while already (week or 2) i'm trying to activate 2FA on my account, but i always get the following error

"There was a problem enabling two-step authentication. Check that your device's clock is set to update automatically and start over."

I tried it on multiple laptops (all macbooks) with and without VPN and on an iPhone, but the error is the same everywhere.

The error shows in the final steps, after i downloaded and entered a security code. It brings me back to the account page with the error

Hello,

sync and account email i want to login - i know the password but i never get the code for verify to login on my mail.

its not in spam, unwanted or anything else. i tried it many times now but i never get any mail so i cant login anymore.

how should i ever get access to my account again? because there is no other way..

Firefox Account verification emails never arrive. Password works. Sync works on existing devices. New device verification email is never delivered. Account appears stuck in verification state.

I have had a Yahoo Account since early 2000's until my home network was compromised and they locked me out of all my accounts back in 2021. I waited until the end of 2022 or begining 2023 and contacted firefox support via 3rd party who was able to unlock my account once i signed up for a subscription. well that phone was lost and along with access to [" [edited] @YAHOO.COM & ph# ([edited] [edited] associated with the account "] and would like assistance getting back in.

Kind Regards
