  WP is constantly requesting I use an emailed code to log in. I do not have 2FA enabled. I’ve changed the password but it still persists. I am using the same computer.

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

  This persistent code prompt is likely due to WordPress.com’s automated device verification feature, which triggers even if you don’t have standard 2FA enabled. Since you are using the same computer, the issue is usually caused by your browser aggressively clearing its cache and cookies, or a dynamic IP address change from your internet provider (or a active VPN) making it look like a new login attempt every time. To stop this, ensure your browser isn’t set to ‘Clear cookies when closed,’ disable any aggressive privacy extensions or VPNs temporarily, and make sure to check the ‘Remember me’ box on the login screen. Alternatively, logging in via the ‘Log in with Google’ button instead of typing your username and password can often bypass this specific device verification loop.
