Dear Firefox support, 2 step security code 10 digit code is lost and can't sign in to Firefox account. I have set authentification app but I deleted the app while I'm signed in and now I don't get 6 digit code neither. Do I lose my account? I don't want to lose all my bookmarks.

Thank you for your kind help.

You can use your backup codes to login, assuming you did record them upon enabling 2-step authentication. Otherwise I think you lost your account.

In any case, this wouldn't impact your existing bookmarks in Firefox for Android. But you couldn't sync with another device anymore.

Thanks for your advice. I opened my account wfrom PC and I was still signed in,so I was able to disable two-step sign in and removed the code. Now,I'm able to sign in to Firefox on my Android. Anyhow, thanks so much for the kind help from you. Have a nice day!
