If you are locked out please, try below one of the below solutions:
  • If you had setup KBA questions earlier, you can use them as an alternate method to login to your website. ( if the backup method is available in your plugin version )
  • In the WordPress database, in the wp_options table, search for mo2f_activate_plugin key and update its value to 0. 2FA will get disabled and you will be able to login to your site with your WP username + password. After entering the site, you can reconfigure your 2FA method.
  • If you have FTP access, please follow the below steps:
    1. Open your WordPress installation folder. Go to wp-content –> plugins folder.
    2. You will see miniorange-2-factor-authentication folder.
    3. Rename the folder (Do not change anything else). It will deactivate the plugin.
    4. Now login to your site.
    5. You can activate again from Plugins –> Installed plugins.
