  Hello,
  I changed phone and google-authenticator does not work anymore. The codes it gives me are not accepted by WordPress so I just can enter my blog with the sms code I received everytime I want to enter the blog.
  QUESTIONS:
  I dont know how I can make google-authenticator work in my new phone for my blog.
  The other option is to disable the 2-step-authentication but when I try to do that I have to enter an authentication code which is not the code I get in SMS. Can anyone help me to disable it, please? Which is the authentication code in my case?
