hey! i am completely locked out of my gitlab account 😞 (2fa). and i don’t have any recovery codes. is there any recourse?

i still have access via my ssh key. is something like this possible: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/two-step-verification-777023203.html#Two-stepverification-RetrievearecoverycodethroughSSH

I think this is a brilliant idea especially with the increasing requests to reset people's 2FA over the last few weeks which is only going to get worse
