 * Hi,
 * I was suddenly and inexplicably logged out of my site and returned to the login
   page. When I tried to login I got the following message: “VERIFICATION REQUIRED:
   Additional verification is required for login. Please check the email address
   associated with the account for a verification link.”
 * I followed the link which takes me to the log in page followed by ?wfls-email-
   verification=… which gave me the message: “Email verification succeeded. Please
   continue logging in.”
 * However, when I then put in my username and password again I am given the VERIFICATION
   REQUIRED message all over again. I have now been through this three times in 
   a row and am therefore unable to login. I am assuming from the url addition starting
   wfls that this is something to do with wordfence but recognise I could be wrong.
   Please advise so that I can get back into my own site.
 * Thank you
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flogin-verification-loop%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * And I can confirm that this has happened on both FireFox and Chrome in both regular
   browsing and in InPrivate/Incognito modes. (That is now 6 attempts)

 * I’ve left it a few hours and come back and I have the same thing still happening.
   Please help me get back in to my site. Thanks

 * For now I have been able to deactivate WF using jetpack but will turn it back
   once I’ve had a look around. I’m anticipating that bringing the problem back 
   though and even if it doesn’t I fear it recurring without warning in the future.
   As such I would appreciate any insight as to why this might have happened and
   how I can avoid it in the future.
    Thank you.

 * Hey [@thefrizelles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thefrizelles/),
 * It sounds like there might be a conflict either with the theme or one of the 
   plugins you’re using, could you try temporarily switching to a default theme 
   if you’re not already using one and disabling all other plugins then reactivating
   them one by one to see if the issue persists?
 * Please let me know how it goes.
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald

 * Hi,
 * Ok, so having finally gotten around to this, it looks like it might have been
   a conflict with WP Hide, which I disabled because it was causing another issue.
   I seem to be able to login ok now but will post again should the issue return.
 * Thank you
