 * Hi
    Honestly, no clue. Do you have access to your webservers logfiles, I guess
   they can provide some debug information

 * I use Code Guard to backup my sites. If I do a full site restore to yesterday
   would that overwrite anything I added today (including the Google Authenticator
   plugin)?

 * Yes, but a simpler solution would be to use ftp to remove the google-authenticator
   folder

 * I would really like to dig into this, would you care to email me a list of your
   active plugins?
    and if you can get your hands on some logfiles that would also
   be helpful.

 * I got it working. Thanks for the help though. It was my fault…I didn’t read the
   instructions carefully enough! Everything is up and running. It works great.

 * I have a question. Is gaining access to someone’s username/password the biggest
   threat to the security of a WordPress site? Or are there other, equally, vulnerable
   areas? I’m trying to understand security better. For example, a couple years 
   ago, I had one of my WordPress sites hacked somehow and a bunch of PHP code injections
   were added to multiple files. It was a nightmare. But I don’t think they got 
   in through my username/password (at least that’s what I was told by Rackspace
   who I was hosting with at the time).

 * May I ask what went wrong ? Would like to avoid 2 star reviews if it’s something
   I can prevent in the plugin 🙂

 * Hi
    Access to username/password is a problem. A lot of WordPress installations
   have the default username “admin” active, so actually you only have to guess 
   the password, in such a case two factor authentication could increase security
   a great deal. There are a few plugins available that can fix some of this stuff,
   ie rename the admin user rename the default table names etc.
 * Always keeping your WordPress installation and plugins up2date with the latest
   versions is also very important, everyone makes mistakes from time to time that
   needs fixing.
 * A different approach could be to use an application firewall, Naxsi for the nginx
   webserver looks nice, but I haven’t tried it myself
