Hey Nakata,

Welcome to the Bitbucket Cloud community!

They will need to click the "Forgot code" link on the login screen when prompted for their 2FA verification code.

After 24 hours, this will send an email to their registered email address to allow them to temporarily disable their 2FA and re-configure it on their authentication app.

The 24-hour waiting period might be a long time to wait before being able to access your account. However, this waiting period is a security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from exploiting this recovery method.

This security process has been implemented in the recovery process and cannot be overridden.

Cheers!
