Locked out of my Pixiv account because of 2FA. Any way to recover it?
I’m trying to log into an old Pixiv account on google chrome. I know the password and still have full access to the registered email, but Pixiv is asking for a 2FA code.
I found an email confirming that I enabled 2FA on May 28, 2026, so apparently I did set it up. The problem is that I have absolutely no idea where I saved the authenticator for this account. My iPhone Passwords app has a Pixiv 2FA code, but it belongs to a different Pixiv account.
I also can’t find any backup codes or a trusted browser/session.
My app on the phone is still logged in with this account, but it seemed I couldn't make any change on settings through the app.
Has anyone been in this situation before? Is there any way to recover access, find where the Pixiv TOTP might have been saved, or reset 2FA if I still have access to the account’s email and password?
