 * Hi [@kdamale](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kdamale/),
 * Kafui, WordPress **does not** have 2FA by default, which means there must be 
   a plugin that controls the 2FA.
 * It seems you have the **Wordfence** plugin installed, which has support for **
   2FA**: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/).
 * Please follow these steps to **manually deactivate** Wordfence:
    - Access your website’s files using **FTP**: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/ftp-clients/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/ftp-clients/)
    - Navigate to the _**wp-content/plugins**_ folder
    - Find the **wordfence** folder and rename it to _**wordfence-deactivated**_
 * You should then be able to access the admin.
 * If that doesn’t work, I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordfence/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordfence/)
   so the **Wordfence developers** and **support community** can help you with this.
