    I am using the WordFence ReCaptcha facility (using ReCaptcha v3 silent).

    Although I have 2FA turned off for users, it is still forcing a verification email.

    Hi @lkdasa, thanks for getting in touch!

    The verification emails are sent to verify a failed reCAPTCHA score. Google reCAPTCHA v3 only provides a score and nothing else, it doesn’t fall back to picking bicycles/traffic lights/etc., so any fallback is left to the implementer. We decide to send an email to prevent people being stuck without a solution to log in.

    In terms of reCAPTCHA generally, we don’t receive information from Google about why a human may sometimes receive a low enough score to always require verification. Generally, a “reCAPTCHA human/bot threshold score” setting in Wordfence > Login Security > Settings of at least 0.7 should allow most humans through on your site without having to verify every time. You could try altering this a few times to see if any setting helps.

    Our reCAPTCHA and 2FA are primarily designed to be compatible with the default WordPress and WooCommerce logins only. Using custom pages/modals or pages generated by membership plugins etc. may always return a 0 or null score and always require verification.

    Many thanks,
    Peter.

    Of course, that makes perfect sense.
