#2 Uninstall/Disable:

In case you lost your smartphone or don't have access to it then you can disable extension via ftp:

Please copy TM_TwoFactorAuthentication_Disable from app/code/local/TM/TwoFactorAuthentication/scripts/ to your store root directory.
Rename it to TM_TwoFactorAuthentication_Disable.php.
Open url http://[base store url]/TM_TwoFactorAuthentication_Disable.php
Remove file TM_TwoFactorAuthentication_Disable.php in your store folder
Now your can login to your store and reset or disable extension.
Also protection can be disabled by renaming app/etc/modules/TM_TwoFactorAuthentication.xml to TM_TwoFactorAuthentication.xml.off. In such case extension simply will not be loaded.
