WordPress 5.6 introduced Application Passwords, and after reading about them I would like to block the whole mechanism completely. I see that WordFence offers this option, but I can’t find it WP Cerber. Have I missed it – if not could you imagine adding the option?
Thanks,
Tim

Yes, there will be an option in the next version soon.

An application password doesn’t pose any risk unless you create an application password with admin privileges and give it to someone else you should not give to. I don’t think you’ll do that.
