Login protection

Login protection temporarily locks an address after repeated failures, which stops password guessing. Your own address is never locked once the firewall knows it.

Settings

In the Firewall tab, Login protection section:

• Failures allowed in 15 minutes: 3 to 50.
• Lock duration: 1 to 1,440 minutes.

Each lock is logged and counts toward automatic bans.

Emergency switch

Add this line to wp-config.php, above “That’s all, stop editing!”:

define( 'SENTRIXWP_LOGIN_GUARD_DISABLED', true );
