Hello again,

My login got block : LOGIN BLOCKED: 2FA is required to be active on your account. Please contact the site administrator.

Is there a way to bypass that,

Also, I would love to do this test :

Please check if the issue persists in a minimal environment by following these steps.
1- Deactivate all the plugins except WPML CMS.
2- Switch for a moment to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Twenty-one.
If the issue is gone, activate them one by one to see which one there is causing an interaction issue.

Please back up your database before performing the above test

Best regards,

As this is a live production site, we can't do the test that you requested on it. But I will create a clone site for the tests. I will get back to you.

Upon checking your site now, I see that the URL is now correct in the alternate : hidden link

I'm not sure if you changed something or if this was a temporary cache issue,

Either way, if you still see an issue in the analytics, test the site in a minimal environment as I suggested before,

Best,
