Can I reset my 2FA of my Opera account through the browser?

I recently did a factory reset on my phone, and my Google Authenticator app that I use on my Opera account wasn't backed up so I lost my accounts on there. I'm still logged into my account on the browser on my computer (i.e. to enable sync etc.), so I wanted to know if there's a way to reset the authenticator directly through the browser (without signing into a web site) and scan a new QR code.

I had to create a new account to get on this forum just to ask this question so this isn't the account I normally use.

@smd9 And why you had to create a new account?

Well, if you still can access your account, then you should be able to turn 2FA off and enable it again, connecting to the phone again.

@leocg I didn't see any way of turning off 2FA through the browser. I'm logged directly into the browser (through that little user icon at the top right corner), not the opera web site.

@smd9 You can only do it using a browser, since it's done in a web page.
It's the same page where you enabled it: https://auth.opera.com/account/edit-profile

@smd9 If you can't login to it, then probably yes.
