 * Hi,
 * It seems like 2fa is automatically enabled now. How can I completely remove this?
   I do not want to use 2fa, for any website users. I want to completely remove 
   and disable 2 factor authentication altogether.

 * Hello [@algala](https://wordpress.org/support/users/algala/) and thanks for reaching
   out to us!
 * 2FA should only be used if you have it set to be required for specific roles.
   Navigate to Wordfence > Login Security > Settings and make sure it is disabled
   for all roles.
 * Let me know if you find anything!
 * Thanks again!

 * Hi [@wfadam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfadam/)
 * Thanks for your reply!
 * Yes, I believe this helped. I just checked the settings, and all are ‘disabled’
   now, except for the admin role. It says ‘optional’. I do not see a way to disable
   it for admins, but that could just be how that user role works.
 * Thanks!
