Dont buy from me. Hacked

Is it the real you online now or the hacker (child with mother issues, lol)?

Actually that is a good question for this and future TFL account breaches.

A hacker would guess or break a password and then setup MFA/2Factor Auth on the TFL they have just gained control of. If the original owner of the account tried to change the password they would in fact be unable to change it (since the hacker would now “own” it).

The only way for the original owner to gain control of their account again would be to prove that they are who they say they are to the TFL Admin(s).

I understand all the concerns. I had to change my password to stop the foul language kid from posting under my account. Whether you believe it is me or not, dont buy anything listed under my name. I have nothing for sale.
