SoundCloud 2FA Login Problem on Windows: The Support Ticket Fix

Client stress // Frustrated
Difficulty // Straightforward
RESOLVED
Setup
SoundCloud · Windows PC · iCloud Drive · phone still logged in to SoundCloud
The problem
Stuck at two-factor authentication when logging in to SoundCloud on a Windows PC, while still logged in on his phone.
What I found
Two-factor authentication had been migrated onto his SoundCloud account without him being aware, which locked him out. SoundCloud confirmed this after the session.
What fixed it
Shown how to raise a support ticket with SoundCloud, who reinstated the account. Meanwhile, shown how to put his WAV files on iCloud Drive so he could reach them from SoundCloud on his phone.

A client couldn’t log in to SoundCloud on his Windows PC, and the cause was a two-factor authentication change that had been migrated onto his account without him being aware of it.

He was stuck at the two-factor authentication step on the PC and couldn’t get into his account from there, although he was still logged in to SoundCloud on his phone.

It seemed to me that he’d got stuck in a two-factor authentication migration problem on his SoundCloud account. So the best thing I could do was show him how to go through the process of creating a support ticket with SoundCloud, so that they could sort his account out.

I also showed him a workaround for the meantime. Because he was still logged in on his phone, I showed him how to use the iCloud Drive app to upload his WAV files to his iCloud Drive, so he could then get to them easily from SoundCloud.

After the session he sent me a message to say SoundCloud had got in touch with him and reinstated his account. They confirmed the two-factor authentication had been migrated onto his account without him being aware, which is why he got locked out.

If SoundCloud’s two-factor login has locked you out on one device, raise a support ticket with them, and use any device that’s still logged in to keep uploading until they reply.

Book a session (£90)

Paul reinstalled all my lost sample libraries, streamlined the storage on my computer so it works faster and fixed my corrupted disk. it took us a couple of sessions and he was friendly and patient throughout. He never made me feel stupid and never over-explained stuff I already knew - in fact he boosted my confidence. Would highly recommend. I've put him on speed dial!

Paul was brilliant, listened to the issues I had on Cubase and my home studio, worked methodically through potential problems and sorted everything. Amazing service, down to earth and explained everything so I could understand. I am a very happy song writer once again thanks to Paul! Will be using Paul again in the future and highly recommend. Thanks Paul.

Honestly, if you're in any way stuck in a creative block because of the gear you have, you've more questions than answers about what the best setup should be for your flow, or even if you have very nuanced problems in your DAW/with your gear, the service Paul provides is second to none. Besides being an extremely nice guy, he knows his stuff and takes the time to understand what you want to get out of each session and makes sure all is good to go! Can't recommend him enough!

Paul provided as stellar service, worth every penny. I came to him with a genuine issue that was affecting my Logic Pro 11 album project regarding drums and midi maps and he solved my problem most efficiently. He was patient, courteous, quick thinking and highly knowledgeable. I will certainly consider using the service again and thoroughly recommend Audio Support - Thank you Paul - you are a star :)

Working in Reaper. Super knowledgeable, friendly, speaks in easy to understand terms. Paul is helping us DAW newbies get in the game. Paul got my lost plugin files working again as well as showed me how to find missing wave files for projects that were loading incorrectly. Keep this man on speed dial.

Paul fixed in around half an hour some midi keyboard/controller problems I have been trying to solve but have had to live with for around two years! He is very knowledgeable and patient and the Any Desk link worked perfectly. I wish I had found his website sooner and wouldn't hesitate to call on his services again. Rick Grant

Paul really helped get my Cubase up and running again. He really knows his stuff, and I'll definitely look him up again when I'm stuck. Thanks!!!
