Hey @Danieliscoolyea. We understand how troubling it can be to be locked out of your account because of accident you made. We want to get you back into your main account, and we'll stop at nothing to do so. However, from here we do have a limited amount of resources that we have access to, so it'll be best if you create a ticket on our support website. From there you'll get connected with one of our wonderful agents who'll be more than happy to look into this for you and see what options we have for you. When you get there you can follow this workflow.

When you do that, you'll have the opportunity to email our support team, again the agent you get connected with will be more than happy to assist you with this.

I have a similar issue. I set up 2fa with a phone number I no longer have access to. the account name is hypo_not_hippo. I can use the account on my quest to play games, but there are certain settings I want to change that I need to log on in the mobile app to change.
