    Got locked out (not sure why) as I was using Waltz (a 2-factor integration w/ Clef) and it was the same credentials I’ve been using (3+ months w/ Clef and WF). After being met with the “You are temporarily locked out” message and submitting my email address into the unlock form, I receive this message:

    “Sorry but your browser sent an invalid security token when trying to use this form.”

    Luckily I had the secret url.

    Hi Philip,
    It could be that you left this page opened for sometime then tried to enter the email address to send the unlock email, in this case, reloading the page and re-submitting the form should work fine.

    If you are still getting locked out (hopefully not), it will be helpful if you can provide us with a screenshot showing the locked our message, it will help us to know the reason for this issue.

    P.S. I suggest adding this guide to your bookmarks, it might be helpful someday!

    Thanks.

    I am having the same problem with my WordPress installation.

    I have WordPress update the core automatically. It is on WP7.2.2.

    Newest version of WordFence. When the WP site updated, the WordFence plugin stopped working and locked me out of admin screens.

    I have done the following but still get the “Access Blocked” screen and does not accept by email (even though I am the admin of the site) and the email is registered

    Here is what I did:
    – remove plugin via ftp
    – removed all WordFence references in database wp_wf***
    – put generic .htaccess file back in
    – deleted user.ini (actually bak file)
    – deleted wordfence.php file in public_html
    – deleted cache locally on browsers. Tried with Chrome, Firefox and Edge
    Could get back in to my admin portion of wordpress but cannot access the public facing side – keeps coming back with the error of Access Blocking.

    Then I did the following:
    – reinstalled WordFence
    – disabled firewall
    – disabled all blocking
    – disabled all security features
    Still did not work – keep getting Access Blocking.

    Then I downloaded plugin WordFence assistant
    – stopped all WordFence services with the assistant and your guide

    Still getting “access blocking”

    Really don’t want to reinstall WordPress (even though our site is backed up regularly).

    And also want to understand why and how it keeps blocking me. Haven’t tried it with other types of users but suspect they will face the same situation.

    I can provide you with screen shots but they seem like they are generated by WordFence. Even if it has been completed disabled.

    Thanks in advance.
