I would have expected them to ask me to message them, in order to resolve the issue of not having access to my old email. Instead, they assume that I still have access to it, by simply contacting my email provider!

If I could do that, I wouldn't have lost access to it through would I?

Quick question, how do you back up a 2FA "code" to Bitwarden? Sounds like a wise thing to do for my current 2FA accounts.

    Really depends on your current tool so RTFM on that.

    But when you are activating it in your account? There is a QR code you are supposed to scan. And there is almost always a button like "Having trouble?" or "Show TOTP Key" or whatever. Click that and you get a long alphanumeric string instead. Paste that into the TOTP field for Bitwarden (or Keepass or whatever) and it will generate codes for you.

    Once or twice I have had to actually use my phone camera to decode the QR code so that I can manually type in the TOTP code/seed, but I think the last time I did that was in like 2020?
