Thanks for the input everyone.I think I am SOL on recovering my account because I cant log in to change the ssg keys, all of my passwords were distroyed when the old computer died, and github support has not responded for over a week. I cant find a phone number to bug them, but as they say,

Never used 2fa on GitHub. However it does make sense. I do know you'd have to generate a new ssh key before you can access your repo via ssh since you lost the old one On Sat, Jan 1, 2022, 10:02 PM robert kugler wrote: > As a newbie to git, i am having trouble getting in to my github account. >
