Can’t access emails as not receiving two stage verification code

[Craigybaby69]

Hello, I am trying to access my emails, but I only get as far as wait for two step verification code, I don't receive one, even if I send again, the timer just counts down.

I can't get a recovery code, so I am just going round in circles, is this is ring up Sky Customer Service line fault ? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanking everyone in advance

If you kept a separate note of the Recovery Code, as Sky recommended, you can use it to turn off 2 step login.

If not, and assuming your mobile number hasn't changed, then yes, best call for some help.

I assume there's no generic problem with the sending of Verification Codes, as yours is the only recent post on the subject

If you don't have the Recovery Code your only option is to call, I'm afraid.

Rang Sky a couple of times, it's with their "Technical" team, it takes up to 21 days to sort out, to remove the two step verification code thing.

Once this is sorted I'll be moving all my emails to Gmail, and access them via the outlook app.

second time this has happened, Sky/Yahoo is pants

You didn't keep a note of the Recovery Code after the first time?

[Craigybaby69]

The first time I wasn't locked out because of 2 step varification, I was just locked out "probably hacked or something similar", they never said what it was, just reset it.

Yes my fault for not noting the recovery code this time, but 21 days is an unacceptable length of time to sort out accessing my emails.

I won't be staying on Sky email after this
