If you don't know what it is or can not find the email that you were sent then I'm afraid you are stuck and will have no way to turn it off.

Re: Turning off Sky 2 step verification

So I have my recovery code, and want to disable 2 step verification. So I go to the sky email login screen, and where it asks for my username or email, I type in the recovery code - yes ? - and then what? - the normal password ? 

I am putting in my recovery code in the user name box, and it just says does not reccognise it ?

At the login select "can't sign in with the code" link. You'll then be asked for the recovery code.

I ran into the same issue, how and where to use the recovery code.

IMO, it's not exactly intuitive!

Re: Turning off Sky 2 step verification

How do I turn off sky 2 step verification code for my yahoo emails if I can't find the Sky Email recovery code?    This is driving me insane.

You can't, I'm afraid.

 

Have you checked your spam and deleted folders?

Re: Turning off Sky 2 step verification

Please could someone tell me what to search for in emails to find the email containing the recovery code. Thanks

@AJG1 

Search for emails from Yahoo and any that mention Recovery Code, look around the day you activated the two step authentication.

This is what my e-mail looks like.

Search for any of that text (that's how I found mine!) and note the address it came from.

You may be able to search for that too.

Here's mine

The heading is "Two-step verification is on", so search for that.

Edit: I won't be leaving it on, I only did it to test if I got the code sent, as so many people are saying they are not getting theirs. I got it no problem.

You can't, I'm afraid. I don't know if Sky have a way of turning it off for you.

I have the same problem, so frustrating that I can't turn it off. Zero customer service

What same problem @Sarah1975 ?

 

Did you not make a note of the recovery code ?

To be fair, Sky do recommend that you make a separate note of the Recovery Code, so that you can still use it to turn off two step verification even if you don't have access to the emailed copy.
