ERROR: The username or password you entered is incorrect. Lost your password?

[ad_1]

Hi

for the last 3 days I tried to solve this issue, without any success.

If I try to login as admin with Wordfence and 2FA active, I always get the message “ERROR: The username or password you entered is incorrect. Lost your password?”

I don’t get any blocked out reasons, I don’t get any emails. I tried to reset the PW, didn’t help.

If I change the name of the wordfence folder to deactivate wordfence, I can login without any problems. If I rename the folder back to normal, the problem is back.

I don’t use a reCAPTCHA in addition to 2FA. I use the standard WP login page and I tested several browsers, nothing helps.

I also installed the “Wordfence Assistant” plugin, but I cannot disable or adjust the feature in Wordfence that locked me out, as I have no idea why it blocks me out.

Can anyone tell me what to do? I use Wordfence with 2FA turned on on many sites and never had any issue like this.
