 * Thank you, Paul. I renamed the plugin folder and I was able to login into my 
   web site after clearing the cache, but then I cannot make the changes and the
   updates of the plugins manually. No plugins are accessible from there. When I
   read the instructions I learned the I have to rename the wp-simple-firewall plugin
   which I did. Is this the plugin for Shield Security? So, what I am supposed to
   do from here in a step-by-step manner to achieve the desired result. Should I
   delete the whole wp-simple-firewall plugin in the renamed plugin folder and then
   rename the folder back to “plugins” without the wp-simple-firewall plugin this
   time and try to install it again as a new folder and make all settings and updates
   to this version? 
   Thank you for the earlier idea.
 * Best, Ula

 * I am using the ManageWP plugin to manage multiple web sites. After the latest
   update a week ago I possibly updated the ShieldSecurity application which then
   disconnected from the Worker plugin used by ManageWP and then after trying manually
   to access my web site I remained permanently logged out, because I was not able
   to obtain the OTP via Email. It did not work many times, so I can’t enter and
   manually update my site or change anything to the plugins, incl. ShieldSecurity.
   It is not the professional version and I can’t get help anywhere. I tried using
   the force off file to enter the site, but since I am also using a hidden login
   page which I configured earlier on ShiedSecurity, it only shows the standard 
   404 response and I remain out. renaming the plugin wp-simple-firewall also did
   not work for me. If you have any idea of how I can reverse things and enter my
   web site, please let me know. Something happened to the 2FA after the latest 
   update and I don’t get emails with OTP. Thank you!
   Ula
