 * Hi Team, I am getting authetication error on my website, the error disappears
   as soon as wordfence is deactivated. I am not techncial therefore need help to
   help you further on this issue.
 * So far, I have tried these:
    1. Cleared server side and browser side cache
    2. Repaired database if any error
    3. Tried www option as seen in another support case
    4. disabled wordfence (that immediately fixed the issue)
    5. P.S. The google login button works perfectly, just the normal login isn’t working.

 * Hi [@marcopolo11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcopolo11/) ,
   Please 
   access wp-admin while keeping a [Browser Console](https://www.wordfence.com/help/advanced/troubleshooting/#how-to-inspect-the-browser-console)
   open to see if you can detect any JavaScript errors or files that fail to load.
   If you see any red errors in the console, please take a screenshot and send it
   to me.
 * If the above steps fail, run Wordfence as your only-enabled plugin and revert
   to a default theme such as **Twenty Twenty-Three **to see if there’s a plugin
   or theme conflict causing the issue. If you are now able to loh in, re-enable
   your plugins and theme one by one until the error recurs to help find the plugin
   causing the conflict.
 * Thanks,
 * Mark.

 * Thank you [@wfmark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfmark/) , we are using
   WPcode and that appears to be causing the issue. Disabling WP code cleared the
   error and allowed to log back in smoothly.
   let us report this matter to them.
