      @wjansenf You solved it by creating a new account. Sorry to say but there is no way for you to access your old account data without the 2fa code.

        Is there any way to report this account for deletion? Because I would like to have an opera account on the old e-mail, and I also lost the codes and 2FA

          @rasta122 If you use Gmail, you can define a new account with the same email for Opera by putting a dot in the previous Gmail.
          for example:
          before: OperaForTest123@gmail.com after: Opera.ForTest123@gmail.com

            @leocg Good afternoon, the issue is that I have a lot of data in the account with another email and all the other companies to which I also lost my access because of this, 2FA, returned my access, but here at opera I can't talk to anyone from support help me. If so, I'd rather look for another browser with user support.

              @wjansenf You can try contact Opera through their social networks but I don't think they will be able to return your access. And even if they could, most probably your data would be lost.

                @leocg I've been trying to get my account back for almost 6 months but I'm just ignored. And every other site I had this problem had an admin that fixed my problem, but Opera doesn't care about users.

                  @wjansenf There is no way to prove that you own that account, there is no information in the user profile that could allow Opera to be sure that a person is who s/he says to be.

                  What Opera could implement in and for the future is a second way to get the 2fa codes.

                    @leocg No, no, there is a lot of my data there, addresses, personal document data and even my card. I save everything, precisely because it helped me a lot when shopping online. If that's not enough information, then I don't know what is. That's how I recovered my accounts from other companies, of course I wasn't exposing my personal life, it was all done either through Instagram or by email with the right to the protocol number and everything.

                      @wjansenf What account are you talking about? The data of your Opera account is the one at https://auth.opera.com/account/edit-profile.
