Good morning guys,how are you? I'm working at PREMIER OMS - Stratford. They are not able to log in to info@ because 2FA is asking for a code an Cristina says that she does not have the app on her phone. I think that Info is the admin account, I tried with manger@ but does not have admin permissions. I see that their email is hosted by godaddy, I'm trying to disable 2FA from there, but I cannot find an option there, is that possible?

Isn't that something Joseph knows about? I think they were suppose to migrate as they haven't had access to old domain

# Disable 2FA for locked admin account when user lacks authenticator app

## Problem
User cannot access admin email account (info@) because 2FA is requesting a code but the user no longer has the authenticator app on their phone. Alternative manager account lacks admin permissions needed for the task. Email is hosted by GoDaddy but 2FA disable option is not readily visible in the hosting control panel.

## Resolution
This issue requires escalation to a colleague with specialized knowledge of the account setup and domain migration status. The standard GoDaddy control panel may not provide direct 2FA management options for this configuration.

1. Contact the colleague who handled the original account setup or recent domain migration work
2. If the account was part of a planned migration from an old domain, coordinate with that specialist to resolve access
3. As a last resort, contact GoDaddy support directly with account ownership verification to disable 2FA

No immediate self-service resolution was identified through the hosting control panel.
