I’ve had the Verification Badge for a month or so now, recently lost my password manager and so I had to de-activate and re-activate Two Factor Authentication to regain access to my account, causing the Badge to be disabled and/or removed.
It says via the FAQ: “Re-enable the Authenticator App: If 2FA was disabled, re-enable it in your account’s Security settings. The badge should be re-granted once the correct security measures are in place.”
For clarification, I got the badge originally from the “Experience Developers” Verification FAQ. Meaning I own or contribute to such an experience, that being through group etc.
I have contacted support, hoping for a proper and legit response back and the badge to return. I will update if anything happens. Hopefully a member of the Staff Team can see this message and help out!
