Logging in via 2FA


We need to contact support at Box because a user has not got access through two factor authentication. Is there a support email address for log in help?

Hi ​@Kazz 👋 Welcome to the Box Community! We do not have a direct email address for Product Support; all concerns and issues should be submitted via support ticket.

 

To assist the user with 2FA and login, you can open a support ticket on their behalf. Please make sure to include the user in the communication and provide the account details in the case, as this process requires verification.

 

Looking forward to sorting things out! 🤗

I can enter my login and password correctly for my account, but I can't log in with two-factor authentication.

If I can log in to my account, I can disable the two-factor authentication setting, but I can't log in so I can't change the settings.

Because I changed my phone. Before changing my phone, I deleted the Box's two-factor authentication from the authentication app, and after changing my phone, Box's two-factor authentication does not appear in the authentication app.

I used Box for work before, but I deleted it because I no longer use it. I then started using it again for work, but as mentioned above, I cannot log in with two-factor authentication.

I would like the two-factor authentication to be disabled as soon as possible. Is that possible?

I just want to be able to log in.

 

I'm in a very difficult situation, so please help me.

Since the person is unable to log in, I am posting this on their behalf.

 

I am trying to log into Box Drive, but I am being asked for two-factor authentication.
The phone number registered at the time of setup is outdated, and I have since changed it.
As a result, I am not receiving the code and am unable to log in.

Since I cannot log in or change the settings,
would it be possible for you to update the phone number used for two-factor authentication?

I can't log in because of two-step authentication.
I need to log in to change the settings, but I can't do anything unless I log in. My backup code won't be authenticated either. How can I check and change the settings?
