• Hi there, a long time ago I set a two-step authentication for my wordpress account.
    However recently I have a problem logging in to the account due to this authentication code.

    Previously I used the Google Authenticator App to get the codes.
    But the app got deleted and somehow it disconnected from my account and cannot be used to get codes.

    Thus I decided to go for the SMS function to get my verification codes to log in.
    Just yesterday I was able to use the function. But today it doesn’t.

    First it shows that the code has been sent via SMS, however I do not receive it after many minutes have passed. Thus I click on the SMS function to resend the code, but instead of showing that the code has been sent, i am redirected to my log in page.
    And this happens in a cycle.

    I even tried to reboot my server and my phone’s connection. No change.
    Resetting my password does not help & I cannot deactivate the two step authentication if i cannot log into my account.

    Kindly give me a solution asap.
    As I have to do up a blog as an assignment and this issue is hindering my progress.
    Thank you!

  • Use FTP to disable the Two Step Authentication plugin.

    Rename the plugin folder as yourpluginfolder.old.

    The only issue with the Two Step Authentication is: due to excessive load on Google server or due to your mobile career, you might receive sms/call for verification pin or you mightn’t for the time.
