Authentication when changing website domain

    Dear sir/madam,

    I currently have a Wordfence site setup with 2fa at mydomain.net. I will be owning mydomain.com soon though. When that happens, I will redirect mydomain.net to mydomain.com and remove mydomain.net from my server. I also own mydomain.ie. When logging into mydomain.ie, the site redirects to mydomain.net to log in though. When I add mydomain.com to my server/site and remove mydomain.net, I don’t want Wordfence to redirect the login screen from mydomain.com to mydomain.net anymore. This should become mydomain.com (also when logging into mydomain.ie). My question is: is it sufficient to change the site URL in WordPress general settings (from mydomain.net to mydomain.com) for Wordfence to redirect logins to mydomain.com and for Wordfence to accept logons from mydomain.com? Or do I need to change some Wordfence setting as well? I don’t want to get locked out of my site when I remove mydomain.net from the server.

    Thank you for your time!

    I have figured it out by testing it out on my test sites. Indeed, when changing the site URL in WordPress general settings to the new domain, login will be redirected there.
