Hi bitbaby, thank you so much for your reply. I did indeed select "wallet with two factor authentication" but unfortunately, I have lost the Google Authenticator data from my phone (internal storage has been completely wiped and is irretrievable). So I am able to see my funds in my wallet; however, I can't send them out anywhere because it will ask for the Authentication when I try to do so. Is there anything else I can try?? Thanks again

no, it will not ask for the second factor after you have restored from that seed.
the seed contains two master keys.

EDIT: 2.6 and 2.6.1 have a bug, that breaks what I just wrote. I will make a new release today

If I've lost the seed is there anyway to get Electrum to generate the 2fa code again?  Sending the coins out of the wallet isn't an option as I don't have the password - but am looking at getting it back.   Thing I'm most concerned about at the moment is losing my phone/having it stolen and then have no hope of getting the coins back as I don't have access to the 2fa code.
