  Over a week I posted about why one has to sign on each and every time for verification. Since I put this security measure on my blog, I have to use a verification code EACH TIME I use my blog. Even when I am on the same computer. Is this how this is supposed to work? Also, I can no longer post from Flickr to WP. Please answer when you can. Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can use the ‘Remember Me’ checkbox to remember the login details and stay logged in: http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/2fa-login-1.png?w=360&h=444 . Could you please give that a try?

  Otherwise please try clearing out your browser cache and cookies to start from scratch, using the guide below: http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clear-your-cache-and-cookies

  Also, I can no longer post from Flickr to WP. Please answer when you can. Thank you.

  Could you please explain that in more detail? what kind of tool are you using for this?

  Thank you for the reply.

  1. “You can use the ‘Remember Me’ checkbox to remember the login details and stay logged in: http://en.support.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/2fa-login-1.png?w=360&h=444 . Could you please give that a try?”

  That I do, each and every time. It makes no difference. Every time I need to sign on to WP, I must once again get a verification code sent by SMS to my mobile phone.

  2. Flickr has a post to WP choice which worked until I began the verification code business at WP. Now I cannot post directly from Flickr to WP. The tool is in Flickr.

  It’s correct that two step authentication requires you to enter the code every time you log into WordPress.com again. This creates extra security. You can read more about Two Step Authentication at:

  Flickr has a post to WP choice which worked until I began the verification code business at WP. Now I cannot post directly from Flickr to WP. The tool is in Flickr.

  I see. In that case I would contact Flickr support to see if there’s an issue with the tool on their end.
