payment processors: 2FA backup codes and lost-phone recovery (2026-09-15)

Compare Payments tests 2FA recovery without the old phone for “payment processors” in payment processors on 2026-09-15 across Stone, PagSeguro, and Stripe. Focus: payment processors. Annual is blocked until backup codes open the account.

How Stone, PagSeguro, and Stripe fail recovery

Stone fails without downloadable codes. PagSeguro fails if payment processors needs the old SIM. Stripe is the control: if its backup file opened, do not excuse SMS-only vendors.

Fails that kill compare-payments-recovery-2026-09-15-s3

• Paying Stone annual with SMS-only 2FA
• Skipping backup codes on PagSeguro
• Leaving payment processors on the old phone for Stripe
• Closing before a second-device login

Go / no-go 2026-09-15

Annual only if backup codes open payment processors without the old phone for “payment processors”. Otherwise compare-payments stays monthly until payment processors works on a new device.

Download backup codes before you trust the app

On Stone, turn on 2FA, save the backup-code file named compare-payments-recovery-2026-09-15-s3, and try a login without the enrolled phone. A SMS-only lock on 2026-09-15 is a trap.

On PagSeguro, turn on 2FA, save the backup-code file named compare-payments-recovery-2026-09-15-s3, and try a login without the enrolled phone. A SMS-only lock on 2026-09-15 is a trap.

On Stripe, turn on 2FA, save the backup-code file named compare-payments-recovery-2026-09-15-s3, and try a login without the enrolled phone. A SMS-only lock on 2026-09-15 is a trap.
