    Hi donniam if you are referring to Instantly Lockout Invalid Usernames: that means that anyone trying to log into your website that does not have an account will be locked out.

    hi and thanks for replying. I have been using wordfence and it has a setting that i can instantly lock someone out that tries to use admin. Not sure if it is just my hosting company, but everything seems to eat up resources. I wanted to try a different security plugin. If they try to login with admin which most do or the name of the site, it locks them out immediately, the repeated tries seems to throttle the server and i get resource warnings. It was also the backup plugins doing it. But anyways that was my question about locking specific username attempts.

    Have you tried to enable one of the Brute Force features, like Enable Rename Login Page Feature:. This would stop people from tying to login because they would not know the secret login URL.
