arij.siddiqui

I lost "Authy App" due to which i am not be able to signin to bitbucket .
Also i forget to save my recovery codes.
But i have my ssh keys.

Can you help me, how can i recover my bitbucket account ?

i tried these steps:

I have ssh keys, And i also tried to recover my Bitbucket account using SSH keys.

Steps:

When i execute this command: “ssh git@bitbucket.org recovery_codes“. Output:“Because your Atlassian account admin requires single sign-on, you’ll need to authenticate with an app password. Create an app password “

And then i tried to add my SSH keys to agent using this command: “ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa”output: “Identity added: /Users/<mac-name>/.ssh/id_rsa (/Users/<mac-name>/.ssh/id_rsa)”

then tried again accessing for the recovery codes, but still same output as mentioned above.

Hi Muhammad, welcome to the Community.

That's great that you have your SSH keys! That way you'll be able to obtain 6 new recovery codes that you can use to access your account again and set your new device for authentication.

To obtain the codes, please enter the following in the command line of the computer where you're using your SSH key:

ssh git@bitbucket.org recovery_codes

This will bring out 6 recovery codes (one time use only) that you can use to get in. This is explained at Two-step verification.

Let us know if you need anything else.

Best regards,

Ana

I have execute this command

ssh gitbitbucket.org recovery_codes

but output is:

Bitbucket two-step recovery codes
"If you don't use a password to log in you'll need to contact support to recover your account: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/
Enter Bitbucket password (Warning: password displays when entered): -------

Because your Atlassian account admin requires single sign-on, you'll need to authenticate with an app password. Create an app password at https://bitbucket.org/account/admin/app-passwords"

and when i click on provided link, it will redirect me to "Enter Verification Code".

Use Authy app to get recovery code, I have installed this app and totally forgot about this. Luckily I was able to get my recovery codes from this app and able to login back to my BB account, thanks

@Ana Retamal I'm having this exact same problem. I do not have a password since I use SSO. Is there anyway to enter a password using SSO?

@mjoshi I think a large part of the problem is that neither myself or @arij.siddiqui have access to the original 2FA application. I use Google Authenticator (Not Authy) and it is on my old phone that I have traded in.
