  • I am facing same issue.

    Can not login with correct credentials,
    deactivation plugin through FTP let me login.

    Hi @themespile,

    The expiration of the lockout was only 5 minutes, so if you login with the correct username/password now, you should be able to get in. If not, you can deactivate the plugin by going into /wp-content/plugins/ and renaming the wordfence/ folder. (As BooSpot recommended)

    Dave thank you very much
    I came across a problem and I solved it was Wordfence where it froze my wp admin page so I deleted it through phpMyAdmin on cPanel Thanks again and best regards from BiH Sarajevo

    @wfdave

    the expiration time is not 5 minutes,

    i waited for long, there is a genuine issue. Please check.
    btw, i am only able to login if wordfence remains in-active.

    activating it and retrying again gives me same frozen wp-login.
