If you didn't setup a backup code or de-authorise the app on your old phone, it appears your b0rked.

Cant login on the phone, but it does allow you to reset your password. You do this and you then need to generate a temporary password on the website, but when you login on the website it states its sent the verification code to your phone (im assuming old phone).

However the misses is having the same trouble and she has the same phone, just simply reinstalled the app and she doesn't get the verification code or even have a backup code.

Awful system, seems to be lots of people in the same position with no fix, twitter support not even helping people.

Getting a new phone? Remember to disable login verification on your old phone so you don't get locked out. Then enable it on your new one!

@twittersecurity @0xcharlie Interesting; so what happens when people forget to do so? Assume same for people who have to wipe their phones
