I’m experiencing a login issue with the TeamSpeak 3 application. After enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on my TeamSpeak account, I can no longer log in using the TeamSpeak 3 client. The login fails without providing a clear error message.
I’ve verified that my credentials are correct and that 2FA is working on the website, but the desktop application doesn’t seem to support or prompt for the second authentication step.
Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue or whether TeamSpeak 3 supports 2FA login? If there’s a workaround or update available, I’d appreciate your guidance.
I recently downloaded TeamSpeak 3 again on my new computer. I’m trying to log in with my myTeamSpeak account, but it keeps saying “Login failed” no matter what I do. I’ve restarted the program several times, including with administrator login. I can log in to the website without any problems. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is also enabled.
Unfortunately, I have lost my TeamSpeak 3 recovery key and am trying to use the fallback function. I tried refreshing the recovery key using TeamSpeak 6, but TS3 does not accept this key, which I assume is correct behaviour.
When I click on the Fallback button and confirm the warning, the window closes and just leaves the error text ‘Fallback failed’. Checking the client log, I can see the encryption errors due to the missing recovery key, but there is nothing about the fallback.

Thanks for the reply! Good to know, that the keys are shared.
I am using the correct password in TS3, but receive “Login failed” as error during a login attempt using the correct data. Also, I have 2FA setup and enabled on my account.
For validation, I successfully logged into myTeamspeak on the website with the same login details.
I think I have simillar issue with ios. App is telling that its “unknown error” (account has 2fa enabled). 3.8.2. Logging in works normally with account that does not have 2fa enabled.
We still cannot log into the mobile app when we have the F2A activated, the mobile app isn’t able to ask the F2A code so we can’t log in, please do something.
