# Authentication problem

 * Hi.
 * 1. What is access code? Is it Tracking ID?
    2. I placed tracking ID in the “Access
   Code” field, clicked “save changes” (nothing happened), clicked “Authenticate
   with Google” (‘Settings saved’ showed up). Everywhere I see “Please accept the
   terms to use this feature”. Is it working?
 * 3. I have two separate WP sites. One is example.com second is example.com/blog.
   First is successfully connected with Google Analytics. I would like both to be
   treated by Google Analytics as one website (they kind of are). Is it going to
   be like this by default or do I need to change something?

 * Hi [@fater](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fater/),
 * Thanks for reaching out, I’d be happy to help clarify here.
 * 1. The access code is used to authorize a connection between your Google Analytics
   account within WordPress. You just need to copy and paste the authorization code
   that pops up once you log into Google to connect with Google Analytics.
 * If you’re interested in manually inserting your tracking ID, please click on ‘
   Manually enter Tracking ID’. Here’s a screenshot: [https://cl.ly/ifEk](https://cl.ly/ifEk)
 * 2. In order to enable the dashboard features within WordPress you must accept
   the terms which is why you’re seeing this message.
 * 3. You’re only able to track one dashboard within your WordPress back end, unfortunately
   we do not have the ability to show more than one at this time.
 * If you’re interested in having both websites to share the same Google Analytics
   account, you can do that and would just have to select the same Google Analytics
   account on both sites.
 * Please let me know if you have any other questions or issues. My goal is to provide
   exceptional support and to make sure all is well upon installation, if I have
   done that today please considering leaving us a review 🙂

 * Hi [@brandonsharethis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brandonsharethis/)
 * Thank you very much for detailed answer. I’m happy to manually add tracking ID
   and see the stats only in Google account.
 * When I tick the ‘Manually enter Tracking ID’ no field to enter it is showing.
   I assume it’s because I didn’t accept those terms and conditions? But I don’t
   see where to do it. Could you tell me please?

 * It’s the latest version of plugin 2.0.4

 * hi there
 * i was experiencing the same (or similar) issue. After turning off Opera’s ad 
   blocking feature i was able to move on and authenticate with Google.
 * Before turning ad-block off the plugin settings form was not loaded properly –
   in dev tools console i saw some errors

 * Hi Palik,
 * Thank you for reaching out and letting us know.
    Disabling adblock is one of 
   the common issues that we’re having. We might have to put a side note in the 
   settings to remind people to turn the notifications on.
 * If you happen to run into the errors again, feel free to take a screenshot and
   send it to us. We’d be happy to investigate!
 * Brandon
