Traded in my phone and my authenticator app did not transfer for shopify. I can’t get connected to Support Advisor in the help chatbot. I am not able to log into my store due to two-step authentication. How is there no option to just email for help?

Hi @jasonsmith

try accessing Shopify’s contact form: https://help.shopify.com/en/support/login (log out first if needed) or try contacting Shopify via social media (Twitter/X @ShopifySupport) — they sometimes respond faster there.
