Asking to relieve stress and get confirmation.

So I have gone a long while without my main, preparing to back stuff up as contingency, but my drive to reclaim the account still stands.

So this is more of a general thing rather than relating to the script itself.

My situation was that I had my codes saved to Google Authenticator on Bluestacks instead of my phone because I thought I was smart.
I had to purge my computer for upgrades, and that means I lost the Bluestacks.

This also means I lost my codes, and I am unsure whether or not it will still generate codes because it technically does not exist.

I'm praying it still does because I do not want to go through the lengthy process of 1 in 2.82 trillion rather than 1 in 1 million.

If anybody can be the bearer of good news and say they are still generating, I thank you very much, and if I must use the back-up code generator, than my stupidity has punished me greatly.

Hi,
I recommend you just use the normal code mode. it certainly will take less time than the heat death of the universe. MUCH less time.
One user managed to regain their account (check discussions tab here) but ymmv.

What Google account did you use on your Bluestacks? Log into that same Google account on your phone, tablet, or anywhere else that has the Google Authenticator App. chances are, it might be saved.

A Google account I no longer have access to or the details to it. I do not know its name anymore, so I can't even reach it. So I must ask, do you suggest that it is still generating even if it technically isn't installed?

A Google (AI result) said that without it being installed (technically), no codes will be generated, which leads me to believe it is in a state of limbo with no code existing, thus forcing me into the 2.8 trillion option forcing backup codes, or locked to one code, which I consider outlandish.

"no code generated" just means that the code won't be generated on the client google authenticator's side.
in reality. Discord.com keeps copies of the code generation key because code generation happens SERVER SIDE TOO for each account (this is how TOTP auth works).
this means that you could theoretically enter a random 6 digit number into your login at any time, and it would have a 1/1000000 chance of working at any given interval of 30 seconds.

It's not locked to one code. it changes every 30 seconds (with a 1-2 second buffer "grace time" between the server-side generation of a new code, and the server-side INvalidation/expiry of the old code.)

run normal mode. it'll work

[thesupef]

Alright, so I have no reason to worry. Codes are still generating and Discord reads them even without the authenticator existing.
Great,
