I had an account " [removed by moderator] " which set the 2-factor authentication. But I changed the phone and lot the authentication setting. Now I have no way to know my security code to access to the box.
If I want to reset the 2-factor authentication, I have to login BOX first.

But without authentication app, I can not get the security code to login the BOX.

So how can I solve this issue to login the BOX and reset the 2-factor authentication?

Hi ​@Wang Lijie

Welcome to Box Community, and we’re here to resolve your login error due to your Multi-Factor Authentication! 

To regain your Box access, we will disable your MFA and to do that, you need to pass our account verification test.

To get your case moving, I’ve submitted a new ticket and the Box Product Support team will contact you. 

 

Thanks for posting, and hope it gets sorted out soon!
