 * Upon installing this plugin my admin panel stopped working entirely and throws
   a 500 error. Only after deactivating this plugin can I access my dashboard properly
   again.

 * Hi,
 * What is logged in your PHP error log at the time?
 * The plugin doesn’t have any hooks into the admin area generally, so the most 
   likely cause is that your site is running very close to the configured hosting
   PHP memory limit, and that one more plugin tipped it over. But not necessarily.
   Can you post in the support forum? [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/two-factor-authentication/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/two-factor-authentication/)
