# Fully block Application Passwords

 * WordPress 5.6 introduced Application Passwords, and after reading about them 
   I would like to block the whole mechanism completely. I see that WordFence offers
   this option, but I can’t find it iThemes Security. Have I missed it – if not 
   could you imagine adding the option?
    Thanks, Tim

 * Hi Tim,
 * I can confirm this is currently not available as a setting in the iTSec (Pro)
   plugin.
    No idea whether it will be added in a future release. Only iThemes knows.
 * As a workaround you can simply hook into the filter [wp_is_application_passwords_available](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_is_application_passwords_available/)
   as demonstrated below:
 * `add_filter( 'wp_is_application_passwords_available', '__return_false' );`
 * To prevent any confusion, I’m not iThemes.
