Disable Users lockout

    For some reason, many spammy IP bots try to login as legit users (including me as an admin). Therefore, it happens that the USER is locked out (including myself).

    I just want the IP to be added to the list, not the actual account to be locked out, but I did not find any similar options.

    Hi,

    Normally the user account shouldn’t be locked out just because a malicious bot tried to log into it.

    This might mean that your site uses a “reverse proxy”, so Wordfence can’t see each visitor’s IP — does your Live Traffic show the same IP for multiple different users? You can set the “How does Wordfence get IPs” option, if that is the case — more details on the options are available here:
