I am getting a warning message in my WordPress dashboard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—–
WAP AI Assistant<\/strong>\u00a0requires HTTPS to use WordPress Application Passwords. The AI chat widget will be hidden until this site is served over HTTPS.\u00a0Learn more<\/a>.
—–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe it is related to WordFence, because it wasn’t there before I installed WordFence, and is there after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The message doesn’t identify what plugin (or other feature) is issuing this message. I have deduced that it is WordFence, because it appeared after I installed WordFence, and wasn’t there before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. My website *Does* use https.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. I’m seeing this on other websites that use WordPress, that are hosted on different hosting companies. It doesn’t seem to appear on websites that don’t use WordFence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. It’s not clear what functionality this relates to. The link in the message takes me to a webpage that refers to WordPress 5.6 and beyond – that is an ancient version<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. It’s not clear what I should do, nor how I might access\/use this WAP AI Assistant<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Please help me solve this puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
