  Every time I logout of my blog, it logs me out okay. But, whenever I try to login (as Admin), the password NEVER works. I either have to reset my password, or I have to have wordpress.com send me a verification code. I know it is not my password being wrong because I have it saved in a secure spreadsheet, & I simply copy it from the cell and paste it into the field. Even when I actually type it into the field, it fails and requires use of a verification code.

  What must I do to make my admin login consistently work correctly and without a verification code?

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

  Hi there,

  I see you have two-step authentication enabled on your account. With that enabled you will be required to insert a code each time you log in. This is not an error, but the way two-step authentication works.

  If you don’t want to have to insert a code each time you log in, you’ll have to disable two-step authentication. You can find instructions how to do that here:

  Let me know if you have more questions about this.
