Comment on Multi-Factor and Two-Factor Authentication For WordPress – Shield by Tim.
Ok, It looks like I’m a two factor authentication dingaling because I no longer have my old phone and didn’t switch it before moving to new phone. Is there any way to access my account or should I just create a new account under a different email address?

Be sure you are in the Shield Plugin directory to use “Forceoff and Forceon.”
Google Authenticator Made Easy For Added WordPress Login Security
If you are locked out of your site because you no longer have access to your Google Authenticator app you can login to your site using Filezilla. Go to the plugin directory, right click and choose “create a file” named “forceoff” and then load your website in a browser to activate it. You can now login to your site to access the Shield plugin dashboard and turn off Google Authenticator. You will be kicked out and have to login again. While you are logged in and also connected via FTP you will need to delete the file “Forceoff” from your FTP login and create another file named “Forceon” and once again load a web page from your site to activate it. You will be kicked out again and have to login. Now you can login with Google Authenticator still off, access the Shield Dashboard and turn it back on, but in order to turn Google Authenticator on again you will need to delete the “Forceon” file. Next, go to your new Google Authenticator app and choose “Add Site” to scan the barcode, access your user profile to scan the barcode and the rest is self-explanatory. Hope this helps.
WordPress Shield Security Badge
Seriously? Don’t worry, you can pay for “iControlWP Agency Pro”. I would like to know if we can be compensated as a affiliate for putting the badge on our sites? Regardless, I will use the badge but it would be a nice addition to entice people to use it.
