  I want to scan QR code for Google Authenticator again.
  I have a new phone and have reinstalled Google Authenticator.
  With Dropbox (for instance) I was able to generate a new QR code in order to add my account again.
  I can’t find something similar in WordPress. And if I want to disable two-factor authentication, it asks for a code generated by Google Authenticator :O

  How can I add my account to GA again?

  Thanks

  Hi Francisco,

  You’ll need to disable your two-factor authentication code to enable a new phone. When it prompts you for a code, just use one of your back-up codes. You can read more about the process here:

  Enable Two-Step Authentication

  Let me know if you have any additional questions!
