  Hi there,

  Let me walk you through disabling Two Step Authentication on your WordPress.com account.

  1) If you’re already logged in to your account, you can go to your security settings page here:

  https://wordpress.com/?ssl=forced#!/settings/security/

  2) Click on the “Generate Backup Codes” button to generate a new set of backup codes, and print them out. If you do not see the backup codes please ensure that the window they appear in was not blocked by your browser.

  3) Once you have printed your codes, click on the “Disable” button next to the status under Two Step Authentication.

  4) At the prompt, enter the first code from your list of backup codes and click the “Disable” button.

  You should now see that Two Step Authorization is disabled on your account. If you’d like to enable Two Step Authentication again in the future please see this guide below: Two Step Authentication

  Please let me know if I can provide any further help with this. :)
