- Navigate to the Wordfence option on your admin panel sidebar.
- From the expanded menu select All Options.
- Navigate to the Brute Force Protection section.

- Uncheck the Disable Application Passwords option.
- Click on Save Changes.
You can now navigate to your Speedy dashboard and confirm the connection status under the Integrations page.
