 * When I switch on 2 factor authentication and try to log in, it just has the title“
   2-factor authentication” and the check box “Do not challenge me for the next 
   30 days” on the screen and no ability to set up 2FA. This locked me as admin 
   out of the site.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2F2-factor-authentication-failure%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * got it working again by disabling the Jetpack wordpress login option – obviously
   not compatible with this which is a shame as its the other tool I wanted to give
   my editors
