I'll now wait for your advice and proceed according to your suggestion. I've just realized that I see three instances of Firefox on my GA screen in the app - but they all display the same codes every time the code changes, so I guess this shouldn't bother me. There is another idea I can work with: I can export all the passwords into a file, enter Firefox from another Gmail account of mine, install the 2FA, and see if I can enter my new FF account on my laptop using Google Authenticator. But I know that if I cancel the 2FA and install it again, I'll get 8 fresh new codes. I still have six or seven backup codes valid, I don't want to waste them. How would you suggest that I should proceed? Should I enter my installed program, cancel the two-step authentication, and then install it again? I typed the security code from Google Authenticator, and then received the same response as with the laptop: It says: "Open your authentication app and enter the security code it provides." Modified Septemat 6:51:20 AM PST by Eldad S-firefox I installed the 2FA on my main computer, which runs Win 11. Why are there no passwords etc? Aren't they automatically drawn from my usual (existing) account? My second question: I finally managed to enter my account with one of the eight backup code. Go back to your computer and click Next to proceed. You should see a new account named added to your Google Authenticator. If you’re unable to scan it, tap Enter a setup key and enter the code manually. My first question is why does Firefox reject the codes received from Google Authenticator (do I have to cancel my 2FA and define it once again? but I did everything by the book, with GA, and it seemed fine the other day). Open your Google Authenticator app and tap the + button. All selected 2FA codes will be transferred from your old phone to the new one once you complete the scan automatically. I had to use one of the backup codes (out of the 8), and managed to enter my account on the laptop, but none of the logins and passwords were found there (it's empty). Download and install Google Authenticator app on your new phone and scan the QR code that you see on your old phone at this point. I'm now trying to enter Firefox on my laptop.Īfter typing my password, when I try to enter one of the generated Google Authenticator codes, I constantly get a response "Invalid code". I scanned the barcode by Google authenticator, to make it my code generator.
