One day.
I have to update my email organization to @wnlin.org from @google.com (example).
And I lost my Github 2FA Token with my iPhone5.
So, this story will talking about How to recover your Github Account.

You currently have the following things:

1. Correct Github Account.
2. Correct Github Password.
You do not have the following things:
1. 2FA Token.
2. Recover CODE.
When you enabled 2FA Login AUTH, It’s helpless. (If you configured your SSH Key in Github.)
You can try to get verification token & direct contact GitHub support (support@github.com) by verified email with your Github primary email.

ssh -T git@github.com verify
Please provide the following verification token to GitHub Support.
006497206blahblah5645f6174ce5a4dd075aa7075blahblah79ce00888b3b

And I said just few second, I already exit @google.com organization.

Here is my suggestion.
1. Do not build SPoF Solution.
2. Backup your Recover CODE anyway.
3. Create and store recovery token with https://www.facebook.com
