Why can't I login to the wordpress for iOS app on my iPhone?

  I keep getting an error of “Sorry, we can’t log you in. please try entering your login details again.”

  I went through the two-step authentication process through wordpress.com

  I’ve logged in multiple times to make sure it wasn’t a password error and it isn’t because I logged onto wordpress.com fine on my desktop.

  Here’s what the app asks for:
  Username/Email: Username
  Password: xxxxxxxx
  Site Address (URL): brightgreys.com

  I was able to log in to the app through my iPad but I just got a new iPhone and no luck :/

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

  Sorry about the confusion.

  Once you have set up your Two-step authentication, you’ll need to create and use an Application-specific password:

  Enable Two-Step Authentication

  This should only have to be done once, and then from that point on you can use your regular WordPress.com password.
