github account

I've lost my 2FA methods and personal access, but I still have my password and email. Despite this, I can still commit to my repositories from my terminal. Is there a way I can use this to recover my access?

I believe that if you still have access to your account online you can deactivate 2FA and reactivate it with a separate 2FA method.

Hi Pediatra,

To start, since you can still commit from the terminal, begin by making sure to clone/backup any important repositories. This will ensure you don’t lose your work in case you lose access completely.

Then, try to generate a new personal access token — If your terminal is using a cached personal access token for authentication, theres a chance it may still be valid. You can try to use git commands to check if you can still interact with github, ie:

curl -H "Authorization: token YOUR_TOKEN" https://api.github.com/user

There is also a 2FA recovery page that may help: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/recovering-your-account-if-you-lose-your-2fa-credentials

If that all fails, try to contact github support for help... it's worth a shot, especially since you have the login and password.

Hopefully this information helps! Best of luck!

Hi Support,
I had an account with the username protonDev, registered using the email shubham.joshi@protonshub.in.
I can no longer log into it — I’m receiving an error saying the email is not a verified personal account or is a billing-only email.

I accidentally created a new account protonDev1 but I need to regain access to protonDev as it contains repositories important to my work.

Please help me recover this account or transfer ownership of the repositories to my new account.

Thank you!

I had also the same issue, you can raise ticket on github support from your offical mail id and ask them to deactive the MFA or you can use te KEY we got in the starting.

ฉันสูญเสียวิธีการ 2FA และการเข้าถึงส่วนบุคคล แต่ฉันยังคงมีรหัสผ่านและอีเมลอยู่ อย่างไรก็ตาม ฉันยังคงสามารถมอบพื้นที่เก็บข้อมูลของฉันจากเทอร์มินัลของฉันได้ มีวิธีที่ฉันสามารถใช้สิ่งนี้เพื่อกู้คืนการเข้าถึงของฉันได้หรือไม่?
