I’ve read the Two Step Authentication page (http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/ ) which just mention about enable or disadble Two Step Authentication.

  Hi there. Go to https://en.wordpress.com/settings/security/ and turn off 2-step authentication. Then turn it back on, and it will allow you to reset it for the new phone and will generate the new QR code. I just had to do this myself when I switched phones, and it only took a coupe of minutes.
