Is there anything I can do, or is that account lost forever now? Resetting the password doesn't work (natch). Not a huge deal, but it's upsetting because I was modding a community from that account. Any tips/contacts would be appreciated. Cheers.

*** update: as per commenters suggesting, tried resetting password for that account once again, and I was successfully able to log in, go to my settings, then remove 2FA, and all seems good now

This worked for me. The password reset link will log you in, and you can then disable 2FA and try again.
