Hi there,
Since you have access to your account (you would not be able to ask questions in our forums otherwise) you can get around this issue by printing a set of backup codes: https://wordpress.com/support/security/two-step-authentication/#backup-codes
This will allow you to pull a code from your list of backup codes, and make any settings changes you need.
Once everything is fully set up it’s also recommended you print a fresh set of backup codes, and store them in a safe place. If you have any issues with live codes (from an app or SMS) the backup codes are there to help you regain access to your site in the case of an emergency.
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
