Recover Code lost but needed to skip deactivated SMS 2FA

buson94 May 14, 2025

I tried logging into Trello again after a while and now get the message, that my setup SMS 2FA is no longer supported and need the Recovery Code to my account that i no longer have. 

Since there's no way of submitting a support ticket nowadays, I'm writing in this forum. 

If Atlassian is not providing a possible way to recover my free account, I'm asking for deleting my account so i can create a new one.

Hi Buson! You can follow the steps below to regain access to your account:

  1. Go to https://trello.com/login

  2. Enter your email address and password

  3. When prompted for a verification code, select Can't use your phone?

  4. On the recovery code screen, choose Can't find your recovery key?

  5. Select: Send recovery email. You’ll receive an email with the subject line “Steps to recover your Atlassian account”

  6. Wait 24 hours for a second email from Atlassian. The subject will be “Let's get you back into your Atlassian account”.

  7. Click the link in that email to access your account and manage your two-step verification settings.

 

The link expires 24 hours after it’s sent, and can only be used once. If it expires before you can use it, you’ll need to repeat the steps above.

Following these steps i end up with the same problem as before: After logging in I'm initially promoted with entering a verification code sent via email, there's only options to either send another mail or logging into a different account. 

After entering the verification code from the mail, I'm redirected to my Atlassian account dashboard, switching to Trello from there I'm promoted with entering a recovery code since SMS 2FA is not available anymore. I do not have any option for "not finding my recovery code" and therefore "sending recovery mail".

I can only click "contact support" which doesn't allow me to contact any support but only to write in this community forum.

Hi! Thanks for sharing.

I've opened a ticket for you with Atlassian Support. You should receive it in your email! 

Let me know if you're able to access it.
