 * Hi!
 * First of all I wanna say that I love Wordfence.
 * But I found a problem when trying to use Stop Spammers Plugin ([https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/stop-spammer-registrations-plugin/](https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/stop-spammer-registrations-plugin/))
 * Because the Two-Factor Authentication stopped working properly. It said “VALIDATION
   FAILED: The 2FA code could not be validated. Please try logging in again.” And
   I checked it out and there’s a conflict between both plugins, so I would like
   how could I solve it.
 * Thank you very much!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fstop-spammers-error-with-2fa%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * [@mirallesdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mirallesdesign/) Thanks.
   We’ll see if we can get it sorted.
 * [@mmaunder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mmaunder/) How exactly does your
   2FA feature work? Are you using a third-party service, or does it need to phone
   home, or call to an external API, etc.?
 * If you have a list of IPs we can whitelist, that’ll probably be the easiest fix.
 * Thanks

 * Hey [@mirallesdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mirallesdesign/),
 * I’m speaking with the developers about this. Can you please disable the **Check
   Credentials on All Login Attempts** feature within Stop Spammers and let me know
   if it helps?
 * Please let me know.

 * Hi [@wfgerald](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfgerald/) ! Thanks for the
   fast support.
 * Yes it helps, the 2FA works fine now with Check Credentials on All Login Attempts
   disabled.

 * Hey @bhadaway,
 * As you’re aware, I’ve been speaking with the developers about this. We’ve noticed
   that you check to see if the `! class_exists( 'GoogleAuthenticator' )` which 
   leads us to believe there was possibly a conflict with that plugin.
 * Our classes are namespaced, so a fix might be to check that our version constant
   is not set as a possible conflict fix: `!defined('WORDFENCE_LS_VERSION')`.
 * I hope this helps. and please feel free to reach out with any other questions.
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald
