  Hello,

  This is regarding Blog URL: ilikemakingnoise.wordpress.com / Username: ilikemakingnoise / Problem: Unable to login with two-step authentication: how to access my account without it?

  I had set up Two Step Authentication for this account but sadly recent mobile problems meant I lost everything including my Authenticator app. I have now downloaded the app again to my new phone, but it is no longer paired with the above WordPress account. I can’t log into this account in order to scan the barcode/set up Two Step Authentication via SMS without the verification code from Authenticator. It’s a vicious cycle – please help!

  Thanks in advance.

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