Issue with synology account and 2 factor authentication

[depod]

I have an issue accessing my synology account which means I cannot get access to my 2fa codes.

I do actually have a DS918+ NAS but I actually became aware of this issue trying to restore from a backup Synology Secure Signin, where I keep my 2 factor authentication codes. When I select restore from backup on my mobile, I get to the login and password, which I have, but I don't have the 2fa codes. I can select another option, this only then gives me two further options. The first, is again to input my 2fa code, which I don't have, the second is for an SMS, but when I enter my code I do not receive a code on my phone. I select 44 as the prefix, as I am in the UK and I have tried the mobile number without the prefix '0' and then with, just in case, still not code, I suppose I might have miss typed in my phone number when I registered it.

I actually also have my recovery codes, but there is no option to use them. I have tried to login on different browsers, and on my mobile, but to the same effect.

I raised a ticket with synology 2 days ago, but Synology have not responded. I have tried to use their live chat, but you just get automated responses.

I am hoping I am missing something simple.

Thanks for any help and for reading.

You can skip 2FA by using reset mode one.

Alternately, use 2FA TOTP codes which you have stored with multiple devices.

Otherwise, I doubt you will find the solution you are seeking.

I might be being thick here - aren't you supposed to be able to use one of the recovery codes in place of a TOTP code? IE, you don't need to go to a special page where it asks specifically for a recovery code?
