How can I restore access to my 2-factor authentication (OTP procedure), if I have secured the secret shared key ("code / key" or QR code)?
If you have secured the QR code or Secret Shared Key ('Code / Key') for your 2-factor authentication, you can restore the access to your 2-factor authentication by either creating a new account (through the Google authenticator's settings: "Create Account ") or set it up on another device and by entering the secret shared key during the process. You can freely choose the account name you want to enter.
