Troubleshooting your 2FA
If the device that your authenticator app is installed goes missing or is stolen, your account is at risk of being compromised, especially if your email account can be accessed from that device. In this situation, you should immediately sign in to your account to make the necessary changes to your account settings. If you are unable to sign in, contact the Support team via support@midchains.com to have your account temporarily disabled.
Out-of-sync Time - If you have access to your 2FA codes but you are receiving an 'Invalid login' message, please update the time settings on your phone from Manual to Automatic and ensure the correct code is being used.
How to re-enable Google Authenticator if you no longer have access to your previously installed Google Authenticator app.
If you have stored the 16-digit code which was generated when you enabled the Google Authenticator for the first time, you can re-enable your Google Authenticator by adding the key to the App manually. If you haven't stored the backup key, you may reach out to us via support@midchains.com.
