 * Hi, I’ve just logged in to a website bypassing 2FA using a particular web browser
   with an old version.
 * Giving that this information is delicate, do you have an e-mail where I can send
   you the browser name and versión?

 * Hi,
 * Honestly, that’s not possible. 2FA verification doesn’t happen in the browser,
   and there’s no code that looks or cares what browser you’re using. If you were
   allowed in without 2FA then it’s not to do with your browser. Could be that 2FA
   wasn’t set up, that you’re on the Premium version and had marked the device as
   trusted, or that you have another plugin that intervenes in the login process
   and cuts out the 2FA check on the back-end (the current release of WP Cerber 
   is believed to do this).
