 ### Removed
 
 - Python 3.5 and 3.6 support
+- Admin Monkey Patching
+
+  The Admin UI will not longer be automatically patched. The `TwoFactorSiteAdmin` will need to be explicitly
+  configured in urls.py.
+
+  ```py
+  # urls.py
+  from django.urls import path
+  from two_factor.admin import TwoFactorAdminSite
+  url_patterns = [
+    path('admin/', TwoFactorAdminSite().urls),
+  ]
+  ```
+
+  Custom admin sites can extend `TwoFactorSiteAdmin` or `TwoFactorSideAdminMixin` to inherit the behavior.
+
+  ```py
+  # admin.py
+  class MyCustomAdminSite(TwoFactorSiteAdminMixin, AdminSite):
+    # implement your customizations here.
+    pass
+  ```
