Login Attempts

    I received a WordPress email saying I got 2 login attempts and that an IP address is blocked. Although When I look at the log, it doesn’t say anything about failed login attempts. As if, it never happened. Is there anyway I can see at the login attempts? I changed the login URL, but some how they still figured it out.

    EMAIL FROM WORDPRESS:

    Total lockouts: 15 lockouts since last reset
    Active lockouts: 1 IP is currently blocked from trying to log in

    The iTSec plugin does not send lockout emails in that format.

    So there must be something else active in your WP env which is sending that email.
    Find out what in your WP env send that email and perhaps it will also allow you to monitor log info.

    okay, thank you!
    Although does anyone wonder why the plugin did not detect the failed login attempts??

    Perhaps the iTSec plugin Local Brute Force Protection setting is not enabled…
    It’s not enabled by default unless you choose to enable it in the Important First Steps dialog box which is displayed once right after activating the iTSec plugin … (One-Click Secure).
