 * I have lost the recovery codes and my Auth app doesn’t work and I cannot login
   into my own website. I have access to FTP. I deleted the plugin from the plugin
   folder but I am still asked for 2FA code. How can I get rid of it? Stupid of 
   me for losing the codes but I wasn’t expecting for the Auth app to stop working.
   However I have access to FTP or MysQl. Cheers!

 * You could rename the two-factor plugin directory name to something like `two-
   factor-temp` under `wp-content/plugins` which should de-activate the plugin.

 * I did just that but didn’t work. In any case I manage to reopen my auth app so
   I could login. Cheers!
