> I already have a seed.
That would be the step that OP will get stuck at because based on their comment it doesn't seem like they have access to the mnemonic any more. The wallet file itself also doesn't store the mnemonic because that would defeat the purpose of using 2FA (ie a 2-of-3 multisig) so even decrypting the wallet file won't be enough. 
Topic: Electrum backup and restore seed (Read 109 times)
yesterday I found a backup on my computer so I remembered the password I access the account with the private key etc except that the problem is with Google authenticator and in the meantime I changed my phone so I no longer have the QR code recorded
Your wallet is a 2FA wallet with Electrum. With 2FA wallet, if you use it, you will need 2FA code, that will also cost you more in transaction fee.Fortunately, there is a way out, if you no longer want to use 2FA feature, you can import that wallet mnemonic seed, and disable 2FA. After importing it, you will have a same wallet with same public addresses, you can check it yourself, and you can spend your bitcoin without 2FA from Trusted coin.
Do it like this.
Create a wallet.
Wallet with two-factor authentication.
I already have a seed.
Next.
You will see "Restore 2FA wallet" with 2 options: Keep or Disable.
Disable if you no longer want to use it as a 2FA wallet.
Next.
Type te wallet password and finish.
I just contacted them, I'm waiting for them to answer me before sending my private key and the backup? Is that preferable?
No. It's your private key, it's your bitcoin. It's your back up, it's your bitcoin. If you send them to anyone, including Trustedcoin, you will lose that wallet and any bitcoin in that wallet as well.

All they'll send you is a new 2fa authenticator secret that you will use to setup a new authenticator app.If ever they ask those for confirmation (since there's no KYC involved in their 2fa service for verification),
Make sure to triple check the email of the one who've contacted you.
By the way, have you contacted them using your original email address when you setup that 2fa wallet?
Because those old topics with successful 2fa recovery have all used their original email, otherwise, they may not entertain your request.

No. Do not do that. You are not supposed to share your private keys/seeds with anyone even if it’s a reputable entity such as TrustedCoin!
When you created your 2fa wallet, Electrum only sent the 2 xpubkeys it created and the email you provided to TrustedCoin. So, this is all they need to help you recover your wallet and it’s safe to share it with them.
Sending them an email from the email address you used to create the wallet should be enough to prove you are the real owner.

Thanks you
Thanks you

It does say that they would ignore any requests to send a new code, but it does not hurt to try given that's your only hope right now.
I would imagine they're still active, otherwise Electrum would've stopped using them.

yes I have access to my wallet I have the password I just need the qr code
I can contact them or do you have an email address ah if they can provide me with the QR code that's great because I have access to everything except the QR code? Are they still active because I see 2013-2021 on their site?
Thank you bro

Electrum is a non custodial service. It's not about them not wanting to help you, but they just can't whether you choose to verify your identity or not.
Do you have access to both the wallet file as well as the password? If so, maybe you can try to reach out to TrustedCoin and see if they can help you recover it. Here's a similar case from a few years ago:

Trustedcoin has answered me!

You mean it is 2FA wallet. You had the authenticator or the secret code before but now you do not have it. Also now you do not have access to your phone again and you did not do any backup like seed phrase backup? Your coins is lost. Sorry
It is very important to backup your seed phrase or the two private keys.

Thank you in advance for your help
