    backup verification codes
    My iPhone 5 went dead yesterday. I could not revive it, so I could not back up the data, etc. before I took it to the repair shop. The repairman gave me a replacement phone. The old one he had to send to Apple. How can I go about reinstalling authenticator? I I used one backup code to open WordPress. What happens when I run out of backup codes.

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

    You will need two codes: one to log in, and a second one to deactivate Two Step authentication. From there, you can then set up the new iPhone as if you had never used Two Step in the past, and generate a new set of backup codes.
