I always click on email except the last time and for some reason I never saw the three tabs -even emailed a mod.
Felt a right charley when I realised as I have clicked it loads of time.
My excuse is brain fade.

I did the same. I blame crap UI.
No dupe accounts.
The backup codes were shown to you when you enabled 2FA, you were supposed to save them then. The contact details for the admins are on the rules page, no need to have signed up again. Good luck.
Technically true but not very friendly. If anyone loses their 2FA codes, we don’t have a problem with them opening a new account and posting in FCD to ask for help recovering their existing account.No dupe accounts.
What we don’t like is if someone just abandons their old account and starts a new one. We’re here to help.

Did the crying laughing emoji not sufficiently convey I was taking the Mick about the dupe account? I answered their question about backup codes (if admin had access to the cryptographic seed for 2FA it'd be useless), took the trouble to link them to the contact page for someone who could actually help (i.e. not GD
), and wished them luck in getting it sorted. How much more friendly should I have been?

Setting up 2FA on the forum shouldn't affect your shop account in any way whatsoever.
Hi, I just did a clean out of my email box deleting a load of old OCUK stuff for the last few years.
Then I remembered that when the two 2fa came in they sent several code numbers, I don't really remeber what they were for and I may have deleted them.
Does anyone know what they were and are they important?
Cheers.

Thanks for that, I did find copies of my old codes eventually.

Just a little feedback from me to say I'm really enjoying the added 2FA security, it's not too big a hardship to manage and more importantly it keeps my account safe from hackers.
Edit: no it doesn't

Hi I'm one of those numpteys that lost my 2FA backup codes (My daughter erased my codes on my USB for her school homework - delightful). I've had to open a new account to post here to ask very nicely if you could help me recover my old existing account. My UN is teejay73 (the lost account name). I did message one of the mods, but it must have been missed. TIA
