Cannot log because of Google Authenticator app

I made two tickets already, 2 weeks ago and 1 week ago and i still didnt get proper answer to my question... I also wrote to 3 moderators and still nothing, what is going on with plarium support?

I cannot log even if i know my login/password/email because i lost access to google authorization cuz of phone clean, i didnt know i have to "save" google auth account before i do cleanup.

Of Jesus, my phone just went crash (totaly destroyed)

I also had google auth on it..

I would never expect what will happen when device is lost..

One could expect, that still having access to mobile number on different phone and access to google account  would be enough...


ALL I COULD DO WAS SENT FEEDBACK TO GOOGLE - Ive sent them F*ck you mssg, thats all i can do :(


I dont even recall how many websites / services i need to prove that me its me, to reset authenticator ...

I figured out how to fix it.

So its basically like this - if you lose physical access to your phone, then ALL of registered websites etc in Authenticator will be gone.

If you have Google Auth backup codes - you can use them ONLY to login to google, and there, to set up Google Auth on new device. BUT IT WILL NOT HAVE ALL THE SITES YOU HAVE USED AUTH PREVIOUSELY :(

So to fix things up you need to contact / manage ALL of those websites/services, each separate, one by one.

Some will allow to disable 2-point auth with alternate login confirmation (SMS, phone call)

Some - like Plarium - will not.

With Plarium and similar ones you need to contact support directly (i made ticket, they responded after 10 hours..) or use PLARIUM BACKUP codes, as they would be from google auth.

So to login - you take first backup code. Then you go to settings and disable google auth - again it ask for code from google auth, so you take second code from your plarium backup codes.

They are (as almost every backup code) one-time use, so count them. You have 6 of them by defaul.. if you have written them to file or printed and stored :)


Hope it helps, I have fixed my plarium with these codes.

But FYI - support responded and was eager to help => they would ask you for proofs of last payments ingame, your plarium account first registration time and place

had to reboot computer after plarium kept asking for the authtenication code it supposedly sent.  My game did not have the security enabled so it is useless trying to log on in this situation.  All Plarium has to do is temporarily disable 2FA which support said they would after I proved it was my account which I did.  But they never followed through.  If you make too many attempts your account is disabled.  Very disapointed because this is a one minute fix.

I had to reboot my computer after Plarium repeatedly asked for an authentication code it claimed to have sent. Since my game didn't have security enabled, logging in was futile. Despite proving ownership, support promised to temporarily disable 2FA but failed to do so. Excessive login attempts risked disabling my account. Disappointed by the lack of resolution for such a simple issue.

I didn't know all added sites & accounts will be removed from the google authenticator. I thought just like mails or contacts,  these codes will be synced as well after signing in with the google account on the authenticator. Now i lost all codes, for every sites & games including Plarium. It's like double-edge sword or something. What to do now?
