Unauthorized Access after Google Authenticator Application
-
Hi. I have locked down my security as much as your site allows and somehow someone is still making blog posts on my Word Press. I left the last 3 blog posts there so you can see them. I don’t understand how they can get in when it requires my Google Authenticator app to allow me to log in.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!
Can you tell me the titles of the 3 posts? Also, please change your password and revoking any application specific passwords you have set up.
You can see your connected applications here:

Hi Shawna! I think I figured it out. When the user got into my account they enabled posting by email. I disabled posting by email and re-changed the passwords again and Hopefully!!! this is resolved now. The password I used for Word Press was compromised prior to the original issue so I do not think the original issue had anything to do with Word Press security. I was dumb and reused a password on a few sites and one of the sites got compromised (per my Dashlane password program). Thank you for your help!

I’m so glad you figured this out! Sorry I completely forgot to mention checking your post by email settings.
Let me know if I can help with anything else!
