I’m new to all this but I need a workaround for 2fa. I didn’t verify an email with the account, just my phone. So I forgot to set my new number as a verified device. I have the password and username. Snapchat won’t help me unlock it. Or allow me to change my verification number. My old number is currently taken, I tried to buy another phone with that same number. The current owner of the number won’t pick up or respond. Any help is appreciated.
If you’re using two-factor authentication and lose your phone, change your phone number or lose access to your authenticator app, then you’ll need a recovery code to get back into your Snapchat account.

When I set my personal Gmail account on the phone (LG Optimus 7) there's no problem. Phone unlocks normally. But as soon as I add my work Gmail account (the company uses Google Apps) the phone requires me to set a pin password to unlock the phone. I'm on the IT team and I can confirm that there's no policy set to enforce password protection on mobile devices.
My Nexus S doesn't require this either. So what could be happening on my WP7? And more importantly, how can I disable the password protection?
I can tell you how to override the password requirement (it's a policy stored in the registry; I'll need to look it up) but the server may push that policy down again at any time. I don't know how to make it read-only. The policy setting comes over the Exchange ActiveSync protocol; that's probably why the Android phone (which presumably uses a different protocol to talk to Google services) doesn't get that setting.
Mind you, if you have company email on your phone and *aren't* requiring a password, there's something dearly wrong with your company's IT staff, but I guess that's another subject...
I added an my work email to my phone (exchange account). After filling out all the credentials it notified me that in order to be able to access this account I need to authorize Exchange server permissions to be able to remotely wipe my phone in case it is lost. If I remove the account from my phone does that mean that my employer still has the capability to access my phone? Is there still some security certificate or permissions that I need to get rid of?
when using the phone number dit will not let me reset the password under "forgot my Password".
Under the email sign in it will not take the verification code. Difficult enough when it is case sensitive and it uses that funny print but I didn't get it wron 50 times.
I am ready to throw this time away.
Hi,
You haven't provided enough details to point you towards help. Like device make and model number. Or what you are trying to log in to? If it is Gmail, or another online mail service.... You need to contact them. No one here can help with that.
Thanks!
My family is not very savvy with computers/phones.
my mom has a Samsung galaxy S4 from a while ago and had her email setup for her on the phone (outlook/Hotmail). however, she has forgotten her password and cannot reset it because (stupidly) she had set the alternative email address to be of another email account that she has no access to!
The emails work fine on the phone though.
question is, is there a way to extract the email password on the phone? is there another way to change the email password without knowing the original password (i.e password reset)?
thank you.
Hello,
I am trying to copy a messaging/voip app from my old phone. I used APK Extractor to copy the app.
The problem is with the app's login info. When I launch the app on my old phone, I get a message that the account is inactive and I need to contact customer services. But the app then works, I can make calls and check the credit remaining etc.
When I enter the account details (login and password, identical to the ones that are logged on on my old phone) in my new phone I get an invalid account message.
In fact the account is dormant, but still works. So obviously I don't want to contact the service provider.
The problem is not to retrieve the login details - I already have those - but how to flag the app as logged in.
Anyone have any ideas?
OK, I managed to solve the problem. I'll post it, in case it helps anyone else.
It turns out that the manual log in works if there is no SIM card present in the phone.
If a SIM card is present, the Freedompop app finds that either it is not a Freedompop SIM, or that it is an inactive SIM, so refuses to log in. If there is no SIM card present (for any operator), then the manual log in works.
