All data is current as of

This guide describes the procedure for restoring access to your account if two‑factor authentication (2FA) is enabled but you have lost access to the app that generates your 2FA codes.

Prerequisites

  1. You must have a registered Servermall Cloud account. For details on creating an account, see: “Creating an Account”.
  2. Two‑factor authentication (2FA) must be enabled on your account. For details on enabling 2FA, see: “Enabling 2FA on Your Account”.
  3. You must have access to the email address linked to your Servermall Cloud account.

Procedure

  1. Send an email to Technical Support at: [email protected].

    This email must meet the following requirements:
    1. The email must be sent from the email address linked to your Servermall Cloud account.
    2. Email subject: “Request to disable 2FA due to loss of access to the code generator”.
    3. In the body of the email, describe the problem, for example:
      “I have lost access to my 2FA code generator app and ask you to disable two‑factor authentication for my account”.
    4. If possible, attach the Backup Code that was issued when you enabled two‑factor authentication.
  2. Wait for a reply from Support or a phone call to the number linked to your account with further instructions on how to restore access.

    Be prepared for Support to ask you to confirm that you are the account owner — for example, to provide information related to the account or certain documents, especially if you could not provide the Backup Code.
  3. Follow the Support team’s requirements and provide the requested confirmations.
  4. Wait for an email from Support confirming that two‑factor authentication for your account has been disabled.
  5. Sign in to your account using your username and password.
  6. After that, you can enable two‑factor authentication again. For instructions, see: “Enabling 2FA on Your Account”.
