    Hi

    I am using Google Authenticator to secure my WordPress site using a Camera 7 theme. I accidentally erased the App from my phone and was unaware that I needed paper backup codes in the event of this happening (the Google website simply sends a text to the number linked to the account). Can you help me get access to my website back?

    I have seen quite a few posts about disabling plugins but I don’t really understand what that means!

    Thanks very much!

    The blog I need help with is running-with-wolves.com.

    If you aren’t able to login into your WordPress administration, you either:

    a) Disable the plugin manually by renaming its folder via FTP.

    b) Disable the plugins via phpmyadmin (https://www.webhostinghero.com/manually-disable-wordpress-plugins/)

    Option B is much riskier if you’re not familiar handling phpmyadmin.

    Option A uses FTP to browse wordpress-folder/wp-content/plugins/ and rename the google-authenticator folder
