I cannot edit any 'Two-step authentication' settings
Hello,
As the title suggests, I am currently logged into Firefox (latest on the public channel) and can access https://accounts.firefox.com/settings, but cannot modify any 'Two-step authentication' settings. I can modify other settings. Logging out is not an option, as I no longer have the 2FA generator and would thus like to remove the old one from my account.
I can modify all other settings, just not any under 'Two-step authentication'. This is not a regression; this issue has been present for well over a year.

BUMP. Is there a support email somewhere?
Try to logout and login again (or remove the cookies from accounts.firefox.com) to get a fresh login to the accounts website.

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, I cannot do that as I no longer have the site saved in my 2FA application.
If you can't get a fresh login then you will have to reset the password of this Firefox Account.
Thanks for your reply.
I am logged-in at one computer and the data it syncing. The password isn't the problem, the two-factor authentication is which I cannot reset due to a bug.
The only option I see is a new Firefox account. Suboptimal solution, unfortunately. It's a shame that it's not possible to contact an actual employee of Mozilla (might be able to remove 2FA manually). Or should I file a bug report?
You can only disable 2FA on the Settings page via a direct (fresh) login to the Firefox account website like I wrote above.
So if I understand correctly, my only option is a new account? Is it possible to export all data (on my laptop where I'm logged-in)?
