# 2FA Reset

The 2FA Reset module requests a password reset for accounts with Two-Factor Authentication when the password has been lost or is incorrect. Telegram requires a 7-day waiting period before the password is actually removed.

## How 2FA Reset Works

When you request a 2FA reset on Telegram:

1. **Day 0:** You request the reset. Telegram starts a 7-day countdown.
2. **Days 1-7:** The account owner can cancel the reset if they know the password. This is a security feature.
3. **Day 7:** The 2FA password is automatically removed by Telegram.

After the 7-day wait, you can use the [Re-Authorization](/mvs-docs/modules/reauthorizer.md) module to create a new session without needing the old password.

## Understanding the Results

| --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **2FA reset requested -> 2026-03-24 14:30**   | Reset countdown started. The date shows when the password will be removed.                    |
| **2FA reset complete!**                       | The 7-day wait is over and the password has been removed. The account's 2FA field is cleared. |
| **Already requested, retry after 2026-03-24** | A reset was already requested. You need to wait until the shown date.                         |
| **BANNED / AUTH\_KEY\_DEAD**                  | Account is dead and cannot be processed.                                                      |

{% hint style="info" %}
After requesting a reset, **wait 7 days** and then run the 2FA Reset module again on the same accounts. It will detect that the countdown is over and confirm the password removal.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**The 7-day wait is enforced by Telegram** and cannot be shortened. Do not try to run the module repeatedly -- just wait and run it again after 7 days.
{% endhint %}
