Delete data when removing plugin

    The plugin works very well, thank you for it, but things would be much easier if removing the plugin would also delete the data.

    When I now have trouble to log in as administrator (phone lost, broken etc.) I rename the plugin folder via ftp, force the deactivation of the plugin by visiting the plugin page, then remove the plugin, re-install it, activate it – but then I’m locked out again. Apparently the data has survived.

    The alternative method – create another admin account, log out, log in with the new account, remove the need to submit the code from the first admin, log out, log back in from the first admin, delete the temporary admin – is much more complicated and needs a second email address.

    If you lost both access to your email/phone now only have that way to disable it, you have another option that is update data base in user meta table, you need to update the meta field called “wp2sv_enable”
    The plugin is designed to protect all users on your site from illegal access, it’s not only for admin, so erase plugin data can’t be simple like that.
    I will add backup code function in next version. So legal user will be not blocked by accidents
