Disabling Two-Factor Authentication on Zoom and GitLab

Zoom users can turn off two-factor authentication (2FA) by signing in, navigating to the Security tab, locating the 2FA section and toggling the feature off. The guide warns that disabling 2FA removes an extra security layer and advises users to consider the risks before proceeding.

GitLab accounts locked after a lost authenticator can be recovered without email verification by using a registered SSH key. Users generate new recovery codes with a command such as `ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 git@gitlab.com 2fa_recovery_codes`, then log in with the provided code and re‑enable 2FA, storing the new recovery codes safely.
