I’ve asked for more details because I thought you wanted the ability to configure the plugin via WP CLI, rather than this. * Question: what do you expect in this case, for 2FA to be bypassed or to be asked for a code? * [Triggerfish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/triggerfishab/) * (@triggerfishab) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-plugin-work-with-wp-cli-login/#post-17314428) * just that the generated link should log you in as intended. If that means bypassing 2fa then yes.If you are able to run wp cli commands you have the rights (is my thought). * Thread Starter [chrillep](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrillep/) * (@chrillep) * [2 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-plugin-work-with-wp-cli-login/#post-17317466) * just that the generated link should log you in as intended.

Promising means delivering 🙂 for now im via WP-CLI - disabling wp-2fa - running login command - enabling wp-2fa * Plugin Contributor [robertabela](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robert681/) * (@robert681) * [1 year, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-plugin-work-with-wp-cli-login/#post-17810577) * Hello, * We are wrapping up the next update of WP 2FA and we have also looked into this. There are a few issues and we have to implement a lot of work-arounds to support this one, which might affect the functionality of other things. So for now we decided not to support this WP CLI extension / command. * Should this become more widely used and better supported, we’ll look into it again. * I am sorry this is not the answer you were looking for, but this is the best we can do at the moment.
