Cannot login to account

    Hi, my primary account: (email visible only to moderators and staff) is having absolutely no access to login. I had to create this account just to contact support! I mean even just to post in the forum I have to login but I can’t because I don’t have access to my old phone to get an sms and then login. You guys should implement a guest login on your forum section and even a button at the login screen to allow people with the similar issue to access an alternative login since people who lose access to their old phone number can’t login anymore.

    So enough with my rant,
    I do need help accessing my primary account: (email visible only to moderators and staff) is the email, and the website i’ve created within that account is: http://www.jayveebtc.wordpress.com.

    What can you do to help me here please???

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Have you tried filling in the lost password form?

    If you’ve lost access to the email you signed up with or the phone number you use for the two step authentication you can try the account recovery form instead.

    hallluke hi yes I have tried that lost password link. after resetting my password I was greeted with a slap in the face and the exact same problem only I got a new password!

    I have access to the email I signed up with, but not the phone anymore. The second link account recovery form I tried to fill out. I don’t have a transaction id and the activation url (the email when I first signed up) I received upon creating the account isn’t working either, and lastly I don’t have two step authentication other than sms but I have no access to phone.

    HELP :/

    I’ve tagged this chat so a member of staff will notice it and come and rescue you as best they can.

    It depends on how busy they are at the moment but the staff are all over the planet so they’re normally pretty speedy, sit tight!

    Hi there,

    I just emailed you in regards to regaining access to your account.

    Ignore the site name in the subject, you should be able to access your account regardless of the site.

    Let me know if you do not receive the email. Thanks!
