  4. Can't find China -! Fortunately, there's always a solution. For example in Chrome, right-click on the current page, select __Inspect_ -> Console, and run the following command at the cursor:

    var option = new Option("China +86","+86");
option.selected = true;
document.getElementById('countrycode').options.add(option, 0);

  5. Now +86 appears, enter your phone number, click Send authentication code, enter the six-digit code from SMS, and the screen will show 16 recovery codes.
