Login via FTP/SSH
Delete the wp-content/plugins/google-authenticator directory
and finally start over

How in the world do I do that?
Use an ftp client such as filezilla to connect your site files to do as Henrik has suggested. See: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/FTP_Clients
Contact your hosting company if you do not have the ftp connection details.
How do I know what my ftp username and password are? my domain is narcolepticnarcissist.com on narcolepticnarcissist.wordpress.com and my username is, you guessed it, narcolepticnarcissist.
This forum supports self-hosted WordPress, not WordPress.com sites.
See http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ for an explanation of the difference.
You will not be able to have ftp access to your WordPress.com site & you cannot install ww.wp.xz.cn plugins on a WordPress.com site, so it is now clear that you are not actually using Henrik’s self-hosted ‘Google authenticator’ plugin.
The last paragraph on this page may help you resolve your issue http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/
Further questions about this should be directed to WordPress.com support which can be found at http://en.support.wordpress.com
Yeah, I had to scan the barcode in my Google authenticator app on my iPhone. Not as a plugin, I setup the two step authentication but accidentally erased it on my GA app.
You are not using self-hosted WordPress and consequently you are not using Henrik’s ‘Google authenticator’ plugin for self-hosted WordPress. This forum is not the correct place to get support for your issue.
