  Hi,

  With your mobile app, you need to create an application password at http://wordpress.com/settings/security/

  The system will generate a password that you’ll use only for that one application. If the phone is ever lost, you can easily visit the same page to delete the password so no one can use the app to access your account.

  If you have any questions, please let me know. Cheers!
