Yes, concerning the first link, but that only tells me how to do what I have already done and doesn't address the issue that I'm facing. The second ink does the describe my situation perfectly, however, there are plugin flags set in the database because I didn't install the MFA plugin prior to this situation :-( I know that I have committed a rookie's mistake. That said, I would think that a fail-safe would be nice for future reference that would not allow this to happen if you have not already set up email. Had I installed the MFA plug-in before turning this flag on I could have used a third-party authentication app and would not be locked out. Thanks for the offering and the second link would have done the trick if only I had installed the plugin first. Again, thanks and God bless,
