 * Hey [@macfrederick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macfrederick/),
 * The quickest way back into the site is to rename the Wordfence plugin directory
   to something like wordfence.bak via sFTP or your hosting control panel. Once 
   you’re back in the site you can rename it back to reactivate it.
 * Can you please share the exact error you’re getting when trying to log in?
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald
