Of a sudden, Moz VPN needed a log in. I managed to get in by submitting a new PW, and was sent a phonbe text for the 2nd verification. Now, I still can't log into my year old VPN account on what must be a VPN upgrade or something, without having an Authenticator App. For Windows 11? I think I may know what a key is, but all I know for certain is I'm lost an having to try to find another VPN until somebody or some AI can get me into my Mozilla VPN again. Thanks.

Dear Mozilla Support Team, I am writing to request your assistance in recovering my Firefox/Mozilla account. I have unfortunately lost access to the authenticator app used for my Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Furthermore, I do not have my backup recovery codes saved. However, I am the rightful owner of the account and I currently have full access to the registered email address associated with it: riadchowdhury908@gmail.com I understand Mozilla's strict security and privacy policies. Is there any way to verify my identity through my registered email address or perform a manual review to disable the 2FA on my account? I only need the 2FA disabled so I can log back in and set up a new authenticator. I am ready to provide any additional information needed from my email to prove my ownership. Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Riad Chowdhury

Help with authenticator and backup codes

Good morning,

I was randomly signed out of FireFox this morning. When trying to sign back in, it asked for the 6 digit code from my authenticator app. I looked on every authenticator app I have and don't see a mozilla or firefox account. I only have 4 backup authenticator codes left. How do I find the code in the authenticator app and which app would it be? Also, How do I get more backup codes? If I am unable to sign in to FireFox in the future because I don't have the correct authenticator app or enough backup codes, it would be painfully devastating for myself and my work. I don't want to ever be in that situation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How to delete preference to always store Passkey on device?

What happened: 1) I wanted to create a Passkey for a website and store it in Bitwarden. 2) Bitwarden pop-up opened, but while exploring the options, I accidentally clicked on the option "Use your device or hardware key: Always for this website". 3) Windows Defender dialog popped up with the options "iPhone, iPad or Android device" and "Security key" 4) I backed out of the dialog window 5) I clicked the button to create a Passkey again but going forward only the Windows Defender pop-up appears

The problem: I now cannot create a Passkey to store in Bitwarden on a specific website, because I accidentally clicked on "Use your device or hardware key: Always for this website".

What I've tried that didn't work: - looking through Bitwarden settings - deleting Firefox cookies - doing the same thing in Private Browsing - asking AI and looking through about:config, about:preferences and about:logins, as well as trying to find profile files related to webauth

Found workaround: - creating the Passkey from a different Mozilla profile

I would still very much like to be able to undo the "Always for this website". Is there a way to do that? (Attached images were captured later when recreating the situation.)

Hi,

I have been locked out of my account and the two factor authentication does not work any longer. This is the first time this has ever happened to me.

I do not have a Backup Authentication code, but I am logged into Firefox on my mobile. Unfortunately, the iOS version does not have the ability to change my Security settings as instructed by the guide.

Can you please help me gain access to my account?

Thanks and regards,


Bernard

I am unable to use passkey with the 150.0 (64-bit) update of firefox. I get a message "The operation is insecure." when trying to create a new passkey and when attempting to use a passkey that has worked for months I now get "Passkey authentication error: The operation is insecure." Unfortunately the same day Microsoft patches were also applied, KB5086096 KB5086097 KB5091596 KB5082417 and KB5083769, 26200.8246 which could also the the problems, but firefox is reporting the error, so I am contacting you. This in on a Windows 11, version 24H2 system.
