Two Step Authentication and Mobile apps
-
Just tried to setup the two step authentication with the Google Authenticator. Everything went well until I started trying to work the WordPress mobile app for my iPhone.
Is there a step through for that somewhere? Any pass code used failed.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You need to use an application specific password for the iPhone app, it doesn’t support the two-factor prompt as of yet. Instructions on how to do that are here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/#application-specific-passwords

Yes. Tried that. The application specific password (with or without spaces) is rejected every time.

I’ve had the same issue, so there may be some bug, for me on the Android app I can do everything except access stats, the login just doesn’t work.

Have you both tried deleting the blog from the app and then adding it back in with an app password? I had issued like both of you the first time around.
