We've all been there—you enable multi-factor authentication to lock down your account, then realize you're the one locked out. Frustrating? Absolutely. But here's the good news: it's fixable. Whether you've lost access to your authenticator app, misplaced backup codes, or simply forgot which device you linked to your account, there are recovery steps you can take. The key is acting quickly and having the right information on hand. Most platforms, including crypto exchanges, have account recovery procedures specifically designed for this scenario. So don't panic—your funds are still secure, and you can regain access.

I once got locked out with MFA, and the feeling was incredible... but it's still better than being locked out by hackers. --- I lost my backup code once and almost broke down. Now I’ve taken three screenshots haha. --- Easy to say, but actually doing it can be exhausting... especially the verification process on exchanges. --- The key is to be quick. Even one second delay can easily cause frustration. Trust me. --- That's why I hate MFA. It’s supposed to protect me, but it ends up hurting myself.
