    Unfortunately, if you no longer have access to your authentication device (your phone, in this ase) and you've lost your emergency backup codes, there's no way to gain access to the account unless you have another device that's already signed in with which you can receive the two-step verification code.

      Htoo , I’m afraid we can’t provide a link to support for another service. 

       

      However, I was able to locate your ticket with our support team and I’ve left them an internal note for you, so that they may reply sooner.
