How does one register a new token generator or replace an existing one?

[Eric Liprandi]

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Two-step verification

I recently had to reset my phone and the password-generator app needs to be re-synced with BitBucket. How does one do that?

When I am on the Tow-Step Verification page, the only 2 actions I see are show codes and disable two-step verification

Just heard back from BitBucket's great support team. Apparently, the current process is to disable two-step verification and immediately re-enable it. Took all of 30s and worked like a charm.

Hope to see a cleaner process in the long run, but for now, that works.

Note that you will have a new set of recovery codes. If you store those somewhere, make sure you get the newest ones and discard the old ones.
