# Can’t hide “Two-Factor” plugin settings

 * Hi, this is a follow-up to the bug I reported a year ago (see “Unable to hide“
   Two-Factor” plugin settings from profile”).
 * When the Two Factor plugin is active (see: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/two-factor/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/two-factor/))
   the settings for it are now listed in the PublishPress Capabilities Profile Features
   list. Two items are added: “Two- Factor Options” and “Security Keys”.
   It is possible
   to hide “Security Keys” from user profiles, but unfortunately if I choose to 
   hide “Two-Factor Options” the options still appear in the user profile.
 * I reproduced this using a clean WordPress 6.9.1 install with PublishPress Capabilities
   2.32.0 and Two-Factor 0.15.0 installed – these are the only two plugins installed.

 * Hi, thank you for the update. It now almost works pefectly to hide the profile
   settings for Two-Factor.
 * Unfortunately the following two lines of text from Two-Factor settings still 
   appear on the user profile page, even after disabling all the Two-Factor items
   inside the Profile Features settings page:
   “Configure a primary two-factor method
   along with a backup method, such as Recovery Codes, to avoid being locked out
   if you lose access to your primary method. Methods marked as recommended are 
   more secure and easier to use.”“Authentication for REST API and XML-RPC must 
   use application passwords (defined above) instead of your regular password.”In
   the default state with all Two-Factor options enabled, these two lines of text
   appear immediately below the “Two-Factor Options” heading in the user profile.

 * Hi [@bobthedino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobthedino/) ,
   I can see
   the issue here, but as a temporary solution, you can hide those sections by adding
   this to Admin Features: [https://prnt.sc/FS4qMU8bbZum](https://prnt.sc/FS4qMU8bbZum)
 * fieldset#two-factor-options {
   display: none;I will discuss with the developer
   regarding this to get the perfect result in the next update.
