Hi, thanks for replying.
I managed to get access to the account but I've encountered a new problem.
When first opening my account, before the email issue, I was going through the settings and checked 2FA at the bottom of the page. Nothing happened so I reloaded the page and deselected the option as no code, QR, etc., was appearing to enter into my authenticator app. After double checking the option wasn't selected, I tried logging in again on another browser and it asked me for a 2FA token.
I've read some people have had luck resetting their password but after a few attempts that hasn't worked for me.
Is there anything that can be done without contacting support? I've tried doing so through the button at the top of https://join-lemmy.org/ but it give me a 502 Bad Gateway.
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Yeah, I use BitWarden, I didn't actually mean to set 2FA cos I had a feeling to not mess with any settings after I made an account, but it seems switching it on and off again kept it enabled for some reason.
Oh well, thanks for the heads up and advice, I appreciate it
