Disabling additional confirmation for a MyFRITZ! account

If you can no longer log in to your MyFRITZ! account on myfritz.net because you protected the login with additional confirmation (for example with an authenticator app and one-time password or a fingerprint scanner) and neither the device for confirmation nor a recovery key is available, you can disable the additional protection for your MyFRITZ! account in the user interface of your FRITZ!Box.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
