### Have 2FA disabled on your account
If you cannot use a saved recovery code or generate new recovery codes, ask a
GitLab global administrator to disable two-factor authentication for your
account. This temporarily leaves your account in a less secure state.
Sign in and re-enable two-factor authentication as soon as possible.
If you cannot use a saved recovery code or generate new recovery codes then please submit a [support ticket](https://support.gitlab.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) requesting that a GitLab global administrator disables two-factor authentication for your account.

You should therefore sign in and re-enable two-factor authentication as soon as possible.
