 * Hello. We are doing some research for a replacement for our old brute force plugin
   and were looking into this plugin as a possible solution.
 * My primary question is about the Two-Factor authentication feature. Can this 
   be turned off? We have usernames and passwords already set up and linked to other
   databases. Using a phone number to verify would not be possible.
 * Essentially, we just need the blocking features and need to know if we are able
   to select which features of the plugin to use once it is downloaded.
 * Thanks

 * Yes, by default the two-factor authentication is not enabled. It is only available
   on the premium version, but even then, you can choose to enable it only for certain
   users. (You can find out more at wordfence.com or by emailing us at presales [
   at] wordfence.com if you have questions on premium features.)
 * Wordfence has a lot of options in the free version, and you can choose which 
   ones are right for your site. A detailed list of the options is available here:

 * Let us know if you have further questions on these options.
