I can't access my main profile because my old email address no longer exists

My profile is linked to an email that no longer exists. When I try to access my profile, a 6-digit code is sent to my old mail, but I can't see it, because that mail is no longer there. How can I regain access to my profile? Is it possible to cancel two-factor authentication?
