Recovering my WordPress account

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’ve had to change phone numbers and my old number no longer exists (which I’ve used for two-factor authentication). At the time, I’ve been having personal problems so I completely forgot about changing my settings. Now, I can’t receive the texts with my verification codes + I also don’t have the backup codes with me.

    I’m still logged in via browser and app, though. Is there any way for me to regain access to my account settings/change verification number? Please, I do hope there’s still a way.

    Hello!

    Thank you, I’ll try contacting them regarding my account issue.

    Trying to access anything – from my profile, account settings, etc. – prompts the verification window and asks for the sent code.

    Thank you for your help!

    Hello! I’ve been able to fix my two-step authentication problem just now and I’ve reset it again using my new phone number. Was also able to assign a new recovery number, too.

    I really appreciate the help, thank you very much!

  • Awesome :) Thanks for letting us know you are all sorted.
