Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.
Local won’t send email out unless your WP environment is configured to use a transactional mail service. Otherwise, emails sent are captured and made available via Mailpit. In Local, choose the site that you’re expecting the email from, then the Tools tab, Mailpit tab, and finally, “Open Mailpit”. The email in question will likely be within the inbox here.
You might also consider disabling the wordfence-login-security plugin locally, which this message likely comes from.
(One way to disable the plugin locally is to click the “Site Folder” button in Local, browse to app → public → wp-content → plugins, and remove the wordfence-login-security and wordfence folders or move them to your desktop temporarily.)
I moved the wordfence folder to my desktop, i dont think i have a “wordfence-login-security” folder.
It still sent out a code so I used burt’s recommendation of going through mailpit and am in now. thanks for the help!
