issue with two step verification

Aran Murray

Hi, I have recently changed by phone and I can no longer access my Trello account as:

1. The Authenticator App is not linking to the Atlassian Account 

2. My recovery key is not working

3. Although I searched the help section of the website and followed the prescribed steps, I cannot see the following options (Bold) on the screen.. 

  1. Access "Can't use your phone?": When prompted for your 2FA verification code (which you likely don't have), click the Can't use your phone? link on the screen.
  2. Initiate Recovery: Click Can't find your recovery key? on the next screen to start the emergency account recovery process

Hence, i cannot log into my account. Even to contact support, I have had to create a separate account with my google account to write this message. The account I want access to is on a different email. Please help.

If you are not seeing the steps as outlined on this page (last section), then what exactly are you seeing when you go to the account recovery page?

Hi, 

Thanks for your response.

When I go to log in I am on the https://id.atlassian.com/login.. page.

After entering my email and password I get brought to a page which asks for a 6-digit verification code.

As mentioned above the authentication app isnt working on my new phone, so I click "use recovery key", on a new page I get asked to enter the "24-character emergency recovery key" - which I have tried but doesnt work.

The other option available to me here is to "Use SMS instead", which brings me pack to the 6-digit authenticator page? 

So no sign of the "Can't find your recovery key?" option.
