To skip the 2fa fee, restore your seed phrase and select "disable" when prompted to keep 2fa.
(I saw your post suggesting you don't have the seed phrase?)

If you didn't written your seed phase as instructed during wallet creation; that's another reason to move your funds since you've basically lost full control of your bitcoins by having only 1 out of the three keys of your 2fa wallet. (a topic for another discussion)

Seed phrase: I'm an idiot who sometimes doesn't remember very basic things. I'm fixing my life, but I may need therapy in the near future. Some 6 years ago I changed a Bitcoin Core password hastily, thinking I remember the new password; and forgot it (over 0.6 BTC there to this day, and likely forever).

So having gotten that out of the way (lol)

I downloaded electrum walleet on my laptop exactly 1 week ago. I had payments come in during last week. I didn't realize 'seed phrase' even applies here. I didn't RTFM. I was 100% sure that the password - WHICH I THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT I HAD FORGOTTEN BUT ACTUALLY REMEMBERED!!!! - is enough to own/move my funds as I please. I changed my wallet password twice. From the original, to a new one, back to the original. It worked. Phew, right? WRONG!

It wasn't until I created this thread that I realized that not only I won't be able to get out of paying Trusted Coin's fee without seed phrase.

I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS MY FUNDS, period, without seed phrase.

I spent hours checking every piece of paper, and every screenshot, and every email address I use. I only have a couple smartphones so checking those was fast. I tested a dozen various wallets in the past (mycrypto, atomic etc etc) so I'm not new to the concept of a seed phrase. I'm pretty sure, no matter how much of an idiot I am, I would have remembered to save it.

Now... having said all that... Please help me figure this out.

I DO NOT BELIEVE I WAS EVER ASKED TO CREATE/REPEAT a seed phrase (it's possible that, an idiot that I am, I forgot 5 minute after I did it, because I'm always doing 3 things at once).

1) Seed available: False... what?
2) File created on 2024-04-13... it's totally possible I downloaded electrum earlier this year and just forgot/uninstalled it. But file was created and used just a week ago when I finally needed to accept payments.
Should I start looking up screenshots for April 2024 and notes I made around that time?
