Lost private key - Can't get through TR 2FA

I've been researching how to proceed for the past little while and haven't found any solid solutions, so don't grill me too hard if I'm being a scrub.

Anyway, the USB that I was running tails off of randomnly died on me, so I went out and bought 2 new ones, installed it again and everything is working great. Only problem is I cannot decrypt my TR 2FA message as I no longer have that key.

Is my only option to contact TR support? Or is there some way I can make a new key and then certify my old one, as I still know the password.

Any help is much appreciated :) Cheers

If you contact trade route, they may help. But, they may also think you are trying to social engineer your way into somebody elses account.

In the future create multiple encrypted backups of all of your valuable information. I have at least 4 backups of my data on all of my hard drives and thumb drives.

same happened to me friend, i think we are just plain fucked. sadly.

backup pgp, electrum wallet, everything important, i guess we will have to consider this the price of learning a lesson.

TR staff cannot assit you if you have 2FA enabled and 
loose your privite key/password.
You will need to create a new account and PGP pub/privite key.
You may want to download keepass and keep back up
copies of the DB on seprated drives.

Best Regards.
