 * I am using the WordFence ReCaptcha facility (using ReCaptcha v3 silent).
 * Although I have 2FA turned off for users, it is still forcing a verification 
   email.

 * Hi [@lkdasa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lkdasa/), thanks for getting
   in touch!
 * The verification emails are sent to verify a failed reCAPTCHA score. Google reCAPTCHA
   v3 **only** provides a score and nothing else, it doesn’t fall back to picking
   bicycles/traffic lights/etc., so any fallback is left to the implementer. We 
   decide to send an email to prevent people being stuck without a solution to log
   in.
 * In terms of reCAPTCHA generally, we don’t receive information from Google about
   _why_ a human may sometimes receive a low enough score to always require verification.
   Generally, a “**reCAPTCHA human/bot threshold score**” setting in **Wordfence
   > Login Security > Settings** of at least **0.7** should allow _most_ humans 
   through on your site without having to verify every time. You could try altering
   this a few times to see if any setting helps.
 * Our reCAPTCHA and 2FA are primarily designed to be compatible with the default
   WordPress and WooCommerce logins only. Using custom pages/modals or pages generated
   by membership plugins etc. may always return a 0 or null score and always require
   verification.
 * Many thanks,
   Peter.

 * Of course, that makes perfect sense.
