I wanted to use wordpress ipad app so did the following Login Security and find the setting for Require 2FA for ZML-RPC call authentication disables WordPress Application passwords, unticked Created application password and as able to to login to ipad wordpress app but after 4-5 a popup comes in user admin in iPAd saying re-enter password- now when I again give the application password but says unable to connect… Any idea or setting in in wordfnce I shud be aware of? The page I need help with: [ log in to see the link] Hi @sudhiranjan , thanks for your question. So long as Wordfence > Login Security > Settings > Disable XML-RPC authentication is unchecked and Require 2FA for XML-RPC call authentication is set to “SKIPPED”, there shouldn’t be an issue with the WordPress app asking for re-authentication. If it continues despite those settings, you can check the Live Traffic page after being prompted for the password. That should show if Wordfence is blocking anything, as it’ll detail the setting or firewall rule involved so you can make changes. Let us know how you get on, Peter.
