codeCount: (optional) Email only. The number of available codes already sent via email.
codeExpires: (optional) Email only. A list of expiration dates of the tokens.
availableMethods: The list of available 2FA methods for Two Factor.  It is useful in deciding the method to use when making a request.
Request a new email code
If the user didn't receive the 2FA code, you can request to send a new code via email by calling the DDP Method sendEmailCode passing the user's email or username. It's required to pass the email or username because this Method can be called when the user is not logged in.
Response
success: array of emails to where the code was sent;
 error-parameter-required: The parameter emailOrUsername was not provided;
error-invalid-user: The user was not found with the provided emailOrUsername;
Example
Meteor.call('sendEmailCode', emailOrUsername, (error, result) => {});
Enabling the Two Factor via Email
It's possible to enable the email check by calling the Method 2fa:enable-email. 
The two factor via email will only work if the user has at least one verified email.
Result
success: true is returned;
error-not-authorized if the user is not logged in;
Example
Meteor.call('2fa:enable-email', (error, result) => {});
Disabling the Two Factor via Email
To disable the 2FA,  call the method 2fa:disable-email. 
This Method requires 2FA to be executed.
Result
success: true is returned;
error: A 2FA error is returned;
Example
Meteor.call('2fa:disable-email', (error, result) => {});
