2FA Loss and Recovery

Question

Body

I had to create this new account, which I talk to you about.

Because my account /~https://github.com/thiagosaud, I lost access.

I no longer have the recovery key, nor 2FA, nor SSH, it is a very old and very important account for me.

I have the account email, the account password, I receive emails from this account.

When 2FA was launched on github, I registered using Microsoft's Authenticator, and at that time it didn't save the keys in the clouds, so when I changed my cell phone, I lost all my keys.

This is a very important account for me and my community, I really want to get it back.

As I said above, I have the registered email, the registered password, and I even receive all emails from github.

On the profile is my photo, which I can prove by also forwarding my original identity.

Hi @thiagosauddev,

For account related issues, it's recommended that you contact support by opening a ticket here, select Two-factor authentication recovery and explain your issue with 2FA access on your former GitHub account.
