  I do not want to set up 2 step authentication from my phone. Can I continue to operate without it? I am beginning to see information from other bloggers on how this created a problem for them. I also don’t have a high tech phone which supports these apps.

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

  At this time we are not requiring our users to enable two-step authentication, but we do strongly recommend it as a way to better secure your account.

  Thank you. I hope you don’t require it, as a courtesy to those of us older users who don’t use the more complicated cell phones. WG

  Two Step Authentication, also known as Two-Factor Authentication is a second step to the log-in process but it’s not required. Whats critical is a unique and hard-to-crack password for your account.
