    WordPress 5.6 lets external apps connect to your WordPress site and generates an app-specific password. Is there any way to turn this off by default using AIOWPS?

    Hi,

    WordPress 5.6 lets external apps connect to your WordPress site and generates an app-specific password. Is there any way to turn this off by default using AIOWPS?

    Go to WP Security -> Miscellaneous -> WP REST API and enable Disallow Unauthorized REST Requests: = Note: When enabled, the WP REST API protects against queries made to the rest api. eg: https://yoursite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/. They will see the following error message You are not authorized to perform this action.

    Important: Make sure you read the following message before you enable this feature.

    Beware that if you are using other plugins which have registered REST endpoints (eg, Contact Form 7), then this feature will also block REST requests used by these plugins if the user is not logged in. It is recommended that you leave this feature disabled if you want uninterrupted functionality for such plugins.

    Let me know if the above helps you.

    Thank you
