The clue was in “/wp-content/plugins/wp- 2fa/includes/classes/bacon/bacon-qr-code/src/Renderer/Image/SvgImageBackEnd.php”( lines 39-41) as it was looking for the XMLWriter class. The version of PHP on our local mirror was not built with –enable-xmlwriter. This became obvious when I created a test user and then couldn’t see the QR code to setup 2FA for it ( as it needs XMLWriter to generate the image). * This has never been a problem as we haven’t needed to scan the QR code on this local server before – it is usually done on the live server and therefore already configured by time it is mirrored. However, I rebuilt PHP with –enable-xmlwriter and the problem is resolved. * Although I chose to keep the legacy UI, something must have changed as even though I didn’t have XMLWriter, it didn’t affect the login flow before. I don’t expect it will be a common issue but I hope this information is helpful. Edit: I tried to paste the error that I saw below for completeness but I don’t think it came through (it simply said “WP-2FA: Please contact the administrator for further assistance! Invalid provider.”). * ![](https://wordpress.org/c15bfd61-ced5-4e97-bc3b-19c8372e6f12) - This reply was modified 1 month ago by [alan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f1alan/). - This reply was modified 1 month ago by [alan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f1alan/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP 2FA - Two-factor authentication for WordPress] Invalid Provider](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-provider-2/) * Thread Starter [alan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f1alan/) * (@f1alan) * [1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-provider-2/#post-18963891) * Thank you for your quick reply. Here are my answers to your questions. - Which type of Passkey provider are you using (e.g. platform passkey such as Windows Hello, Touch ID, Face ID, or a security key such as YubiKey)? * We don’t currently use Passkeys. - Could you open your browser’s Developer Tools (F12), reproduce the issue, and share any errors shown in the **Console** tab? * All I see in the console is “/wp-login.php?action=validate_2fa 500 (Internal Server Error)”. - Are you using the native WordPress login page, or a custom login form/page? If it’s a custom login, does the same issue occur on the default WordPress login page as well? * We do use a custom login page and the WPS Hide Login plugin ([https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wps-hide-login](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wps-hide-login)). However, I have been able to reproduce it with these disabled. We do have a lot of other plugins so there could be some conflict. One possibility is [https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-hide-security-enhancer](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-hide-security-enhancer) but it is not so easy to disable for debugging. - Which PHP version is the site running? * This is on PHP 8.2.29. - Are you using a 2FA method along with the passkeys or just passkeys alone? Can you elaborate on the method used if that’s the case etc. * We only use the 6-digit 2FA method. - Finally, can you confirm which WP 2FA version you upgraded from before testing 4.0.0? * 3.1.1.2 * Some further information. The way that I have been reproducing the problem is to select the option to stick with the current UI that pops up after the initial upgrade. Whilst still logged into the dashboard, I tried changing to the new UI from the plugin settings then I no longer get “invalid provider”, but I am not prompted for a 2FA code either. Also, I can’t re-enter the WP-2FA settings page after doing this (it just redirects to my user profile settings). The only way that I can successfully select the new UI is when I do it from the initial popup. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Mail Logging] Some resent HTML emails sent as plain text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/some-resent-html-emails-sent-as-plain-text/) * Thread Starter [alan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f1alan/) * (@f1alan) * [1 year, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/some-resent-html-emails-sent-as-plain-text/#post-18057346) * Hi [@sakalvictoria](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sakalvictoria/), * That’s good to hear.

I was really looking for a hook or something in your plugin that I can override myself to dissalow that order state. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP 2FA - Two-factor authentication for WordPress] Mirror Site Compatibility](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mirror-site-compatibility/) * Thread Starter [alan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f1alan/) * (@f1alan) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mirror-site-compatibility/#post-16706426) * Good idea about the time but I just checked and confirmed that they are in sync. However, I decided to give it another try and to my surprise the 2FA code worked this morning. It did seem to be a bit intermittent though and only worked on one of our mirrors. This could be our problem and I’m satisfied that it works enough for what we need from our mirror. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Activity Log] Exclude Readonly Roles](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-readonly-roles/) * Thread Starter [alan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f1alan/) * (@f1alan) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-readonly-roles/#post-16702876) * Sorry for the confusion. This is the Members plugin that I referred to: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/) * We use the Members plugin to define our own roles and have more control over their capabilities. * The bbp_participant role is created by the bbPress plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/)). The Members plugin is not directly related to the problem but I mentioned it just becuase it highlights this role as being a special role and won’t allow it to be edited. I assumed that was the same reason that your plugin doesn’t recognise this role but that is just my guess. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP 2FA - Two-factor authentication for WordPress] Mirror Site Compatibility](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mirror-site-compatibility/) * Thread Starter [alan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f1alan/) * (@f1alan) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mirror-site-compatibility/#post-16700300) * Thanks, I’ve just tried this and couldn’t find the _wp\_2fa\_secret\_key_ setting in wp_options. However, I couldn’t find it in the live database either. Just to confirm, I am searching for it in the option_name field in wp_options. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP 2FA - Two-factor authentication for WordPress] Mirror Site Compatibility](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mirror-site-compatibility/) * Thread Starter [alan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f1alan/) * (@f1alan) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mirror-site-compatibility/#post-16681134) * Thanks for the suggestion, I thought that might solve it as we don’t mirror wp- config.php but I just tried updating the key and it still gives the following error: * **ERROR: Invalid verification code.** * I think I’ll stick to my current strategy of renaming the folder for now. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form 7] Corrupt Confirmation Message After Update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/corrupt-confirmation-message-after-update/) * Thread Starter [alan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f1alan/) * (@f1alan) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/corrupt-confirmation-message-after-update/#post-16667738) * This is on an internal server so unfortunately I can’t share a link. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Activity Log] WooCommerce Integration Error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-integration-error-2/) * Thread Starter [alan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/f1alan/) * (@f1alan) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-integration-error-2/#post-16655344) * Thanks for the advice.

Looking at the logs in the Search Console, it appears that this is no longer being reported as an issue (although we did not change anything).
