unfortunately i don't think its possible, i have read many times on the forum and it may even be in the help page that it is the policy of the pool not to reset the 2fa.

i would open a new account and point your miners there until you get clarification on this, i'm pretty sure after a certain amount of time anything owed gets paid out (as long as there are addresses against the coins).

Yep it appears prohashing does not do 2fa resets .... but then again their support ticket system couldn't do email replies until today as well... what does prohashing have to say?

Yes i believe it will be possible to do this in the back end, but as i said it is a policy this pool has implemented for additional security.

It's possible to do that with exchanges because the exchange has identity documents on file. That provides them with something to validate your identity against when resetting that key.

Since we don't accept deposits, we don't need to collect the same documents that money transmitters do, and therefore there is no way to reset two-factor authentication codes. We can't prove that the person who is contacting us is the same person who signed up for the account.

Yes, but your money isn't lost. All balances are automatically paid after 90 days to the addresses on file.

I suggest simply creating a new account. You can continue earning money there and your old balances will be paid when the timer expires.
