 * Thank you for using our plugin [@alexbese25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexbese25/)
 * I am sorry to read about your issue. Can you please confirm if you have the Sucuri
   security plugin installed and if you have the feature to change the WordPress
   salts enabled?
 * Also, if you reset your 2FA configuration, it works again right? If it is what
   we suspect, this is happening because WP 2fa uses the WordPress sales to encrypt
   the data in the database. However, since Sucuri is changing the salts then the
   plugin fails to read the data, thus it cannot verify your code.
 * The best way around this is to disable the refreshing of the WordPress sales 
   from the Sucuri plugin. We are currently working on an update of the plugin which
   creates its own private key, so we avoid this issue.
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.
