Unable to log in to GitHub because my 2FA authenticator is not working and I have no recovery codes
I am having trouble accessing my GitHub account because I cannot complete the two-factor authentication (2FA) step.
Here is my situation:
* I know my GitHub username and password.
* I still have access to the email address associated with my GitHub account.
* I previously configured 2FA using an authenticator app.
* The authenticator app is no longer working / I cannot retrieve the GitHub verification code from it.
* Unfortunately, I do not have my GitHub 2FA recovery codes.
* I am therefore unable to complete the login process.
I have already checked the available options on the GitHub 2FA login screen, but I don't have access to a recovery code or another available 2FA method.
I would like to know if there is any legitimate way to recover access to my account in this situation.
For example:
1. Is there any way to recover or reset the authenticator configuration?
2. Can GitHub verify account ownership through the registered email address?
3. Is there another recovery method I may have missed?
4. If I have previously used GitHub on a computer, can an existing SSH key or Git credential help with account recovery?
5. What is the recommended process if I have lost both the authenticator access and recovery codes?
I am not looking for a way to bypass GitHub's security. I simply want to recover access to my own account through the official recovery process.
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
