  I’m trying to install the jetpack plugin on my self hosted WordPress site and it asks for my wordpress.com details. I enter it however it asks for a code for the two step authentication and i don’t have the app any more. Is there a way i can bypass that with a single use code or something? If there is can i then get the barcode again to reactive the app on my phone?

  Thanks for any help in advanced.

  Hi there,
  I think the way to proceed is to click this link and complete the forum for account recovery. https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  Just noticed that i cannot provide proof because i do not have the api key and havent made any transaction. What would count as proof?
