    My WordPress website http://www.insightandenergy.com started showing the following in the admin section:

    WAP AI Assistant requires HTTPS to use WordPress Application Passwords. The AI chat widget will be hidden until this site is served over HTTPS. Learn more.

    The site is fully SSL, and I already put in code in wp-config.php that would work for proxy servers.

    The site runs WP Rocket with caching and with WP Rocket’s CDN, uses Wordfence (obviously), and RSS (Really Simple Security) and .htaccess / web.config to force SSL, which has worked for years already. I don’t know where this warning originates from, since the site is using HTTPS already.

    TIA!

    Hi @opalcomp,

    Thanks for reaching out! That notice isn’t generated by Wordfence, but it’s possible Wordfence is involved.

    Wordfence disables WordPress application passwords by default, via the “Disable WordPress application passwords” option in Wordfence > All Options > Brute Force Protection. You can find more information on that option here: https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/brute-force/

    Set that option to OFF, save, and reload your admin page. If the WAP AI Assistant notice clears, that was it. If it’s still there, it likely isn’t related to Wordfence.

    Thanks,
    Margaret
