Developer Mode is missing!

OMG! this morning, I turned ON my quest2 and schokingly found that my custom apps are gone under unknown sources. Then I look into my ouclus companion app and figured out that the developer mode is also missing! can't connect the headset to pc via adb. Not even list out my device under "adb devices" command. Need a fix! help me out!!!

    Same here. Even a factory reset didn't solve it.

    Same here. Was fine Friday. This morning developer mode is shown as checked in the onboard Oculus settings, but no unknown sources list.

    Did some digging. Looks like they sent out an email forecasting this. Basically, it says that if you don't "verify" your dev account by Oct 21, your device will be locked out of developer mode. Verification consists of either linking a credit card to your account or setting up SMS 2-factor. Verify here: https://developer.oculus.com/manage/verify
    I have done so. But have yet to see any change on the device.

    same issue here... did you insert only your phone number (no credit card data) and wait until today, monday, to see again developer mode option and "unknown sources" on quest headset?

    Figured out how to fix it guys, download oculus developer hub make sure your account is verified, then connect your quest 2 and it gives you an option to enable developer mode but you need to have a pc, mac or windows works.
