    I receive these emails from wordfence where the logins failed exceeded 20. The username they used was ” (ie null)

    These errors come to be quite a bit and want to know if there is anyway to block immediately when NO username was specified. I know I can put in “admin” in the field;

    “Immediately block the IP of users who try to sign in as these usernames”

    Is there anyway to block when the hacker is using a ”.

    Here is the the error I receive in the email

    A user with IP address x.x.x.x has been locked out from the signing in or using the password recovery form for the following reason: Exceeded the maximum number of login failures which is: 20. The last username they tried to sign in with was: ”
    User IP: x.x.x.x
    User hostname: x.x.x.x
    User location: Tampa, United States

    Thanks

    Did you try checking the box to “Immediately lock out invalid usernames”? I think that might get it.
