    I installed this new plugin to get extra security for my site and thought I set it up correctly for reCAPTCHA V2 (i’m not a robot) and NOW i’m completely Locked out of my site.
    I did not whitelist my IP… which I should have but wanted to test it out and see what it looked like upon logging in via my admin user/pass.

    What happens now is it comes up with an error on the login:

    VERIFICATION REQUIRED: Additional verification is required for login. Please check the email address associated with the account for a verification link.

    SO I go to the email and retrieve the link which has my email associated with this admin user and click the link and it just sits there with no response at all…
    Tried this several times and also with another browser and have shut off all anti virus software…
    Link does nothing??? Now I am Locked out of my website…

    How do I delete this plugin from the login?
    I have access to my cpanel and all files and DB…
    What do I need to change/hack/delete or change to get rid of this thing?
    Any help would be appreciated

    From the Wordfence blog:

    Wordfence Login Security and the full Wordfence plugin share the same code for these features. If you already have the full Wordfence plugin installed you already have all of the features available in Wordfence Login Security.
