    Hi guys!

    Is there a way to use 2FA when logging in from a react app using REST API?

    Thanks!

    Hi @assafw4, thanks for getting in touch.

    There’s a setting to require 2FA for XML-RPC Authentication in Wordfence > Login Security > Settings but in terms of actually logging in, our 2FA is currently only compatible with the default WordPress and WooCommerce login pages rather than custom built pages.

    A possible workaround if the REST API calls will be occurring from a consistent IP, is using Wordfence > Login Security > Settings > Allowlisted IP addresses that bypass 2FA and reCAPTCHA. If you plan on having wp-login.php or other methods still available, they would allow logging in with a 2FA code if the IP ever changes.

    I’m not certain that WordPress Application Passwords would be appropriate for your use-case but that might be an option too as they won’t require 2FA.

    Thanks,
    Peter.
