This article explains what to do if you have been locked out of your Mozilla account two-step authentication login.
- If you received a message that your Mozilla account was locked because a confirmation email was returned, see the I'm having problems confirming my Mozilla account article instead.
Two-step authentication adds extra security to your Mozilla account by making it harder for someone else to sign in to your account. If you’ve gotten locked out of your two-step authentication login, you can use one of your previously saved backup authentication codes to securely regain access to your account. Alternatively, if you have a device still signed in to your account, you can use that device to disable two-factor authentication, so you can sign in to your account without two-step authentication.

Unfortunately, deactivation by Mozilla of two-step authentication is not supported, and you will not be able to access your existing Sync data. You can however create a new account with a different email address to begin syncing again.
I lost my two-step authentication device, can’t find my backup authentication codes and don’t have a signed-in device. Can I request to delete my Mozilla account?
In this case, it is currently not possible to delete your Mozilla account, since we don't have a way to verify your identity and ownership of that account. We recommend creating a new Mozilla account to use Firefox Sync and other services that require a Mozilla account.
