Hi Pradeep,

Are you a user with System Administrator profile?

Do you have any other user for that org? 

If you have any other user with System administrator permissions, then go to profile (your users profile) and find 'Manage Two-Factor Authentication' permission and untick and save.
This will allow you to login without the authenticator app.

Doc to help you,
https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=security_require_two_factor_authentication.htm

Hope this helps.

When a user enable "Two-Factor Authentication", a permission set get attached to your user record. If you remove that permission set from your user record, system will allow you to log in.

Hi Pradeep,

Only one mobile authenticator app that generates verification codes (one-time passwords) can be connected to a user’s account at a time. If your user loses access to the app by replacing or losing the mobile device, disconnect the app from your user’s account. The next time your user logs in with two-factor authentication, Salesforce prompts the user to connect a new authenticator app.

1.From Setup, enter Users in the Quick Find box, then select Users.
2.Click the user’s name.
3.On the user’s detail page, click Disconnect next to the App Registration: One-Time Password Generator field.
Your users can disconnect the app from their own account. In personal settings, they go to the Advanced User Details page and clickDisconnect next to the App Registration: One-Time Password Generator field.

please email us at trailhead@salesforce.com and I can assist you.

Hope this helps you!
Best Regards,
Jyothsna

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply, am sorry to say this doesn't solved my problem.


My login id is pkd1@qa.trifecta.com, as a part of working on trail heads, while working on the project Secure Identity and Access Management trailhead I was asked to use 2 factor authentication app and the project was successfully completed. Later I have uninstalled the app from my mobile. Now when I try to login, I was asked for code, where the app is uninstalled in my app. So I have tried to install and get a code, but in the mobile app to get it activated I was asked to scan QR code, now the problem is more critical.

I couldn't login because 2 facto authentication is activated for my login.
To get the code, the app was uninstalled. To activate the app I need to scan QR code.

Thanks,
Pradeep

I had the same issue. I was not able to login to my developer account because my account in the two-factor authentication app was removed by mistake. After opening a support case with the trailhead (https://trailhead.salesforce.com/help), the issue got resolved. The support team came back within a day after raising the case and I was able to login to my developer account once again.

If you have used salesforce org for trailhead challenges then you must have connected that org in trailhead. So you can directly go to trailhead->Hands-on-Orgs and launch your org. Then the first thing you do is disable "App Registration: Salesforce Authenticator". I hope this helps few people. :)

Hi Friends,
Same thing happenned to me...i had uninstalled the MFA app on my mobile on purpose to test few scenarios related to MFA without noticing that..the same MFA app was also connected to my other org. It was my blunder mistake...i just forgot while uninstalling.

Resolution:- I tried from a different laptop and it worked. It never asked for MFA. I was able to login just by putting user id and password and Disconnected the app connection from user settings and removed the permission set also.No i am able to login to salesforce from both the laptops.

I will not enable MFA for my System amdin account from now on..i will test it with the other logins :)

Regards,
Chandra
