I have installed plugins which limit the login attempts like Limit Login Attempt, Loginizer, Wordfence etc. Is there any incompatibilities with these kind of plugins?

The limit login attempt kind of plugins limit the number of login attempts and block the IP temporarily. So if you are using 2 factor along with these kind of plugins then you should increase the login attempts (minimum 5) so that you dont get locked out yourself.
