    If users forget or lose access to their two-step authentication (2SA) method, they may be unable to sign in normally.

    They can generally:

    • Use a recovery code if they saved one.
    • Use another configured authentication method, if available.
    • Follow Shopify’s account recovery process if they don’t have access to their authentication methods or recovery codes.
    • Contact Shopify Support if additional assistance is required.

    Users should keep recovery codes in a secure location so they have a backup if their primary 2SA method becomes unavailable.
