  I clik on the two step process not knowing you had to use your user name and password plus a series o numbers. I want start using WordPress but can’t get rid of the two step process. If it can’t be done then cancel my account.

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

  hi there,
  Two step authentication is available for a reason, better security. Two step authentication will always be better and more secure than just using a password alone. It is always recommended. That said, if you still feel uncomfortable using two step authentication, you can disable it by following the instructions from here.

  I still can’t get the instructions to work to disconnect. When I try to type in the numbers I can’t so I am going to let this set and probably not use WordPress. Seems like a nea idea but I don’t the second step in sign in. If you could fix it then fine otherwise I will make other arrangements and not use WordPress.
