    Locked out of 2FA

    Hi, could I get 2FA disabled on @CJKay93 please? I don't recall even enabling it, never mind writing down a recovery code, and MPGH is not even on my authenticator.

    Where was the account registered from?

    If anyone claims to be me via any other source outside of MPGH private or visitor messages, IT'S NOT ME!

    I'm unsure of why you would ask that - as far as I know, I have never given MPGH my physical location. Christ knows where the geolocation for my IP was when I registered the account; I have moved at least twice since.

    All I can tell you is that it was registered in the UK, either in East Sussex, Southwest London or Cambridgeshire.

    We ask for security purposes, and city and country are fine. If they do not recall, or use a VPN they are simply SOL as I cannot confirm their identity otherwise. In any case, 2FA removed. In the future, write down security codes and keep them in your person or a safe location outside your phone. I see no evidence of alien access to your account, so I have no idea how exactly 2FA was enabled and confirmed without you being aware of it.
