Blank lockout notifications

    I get literal hundreds of notices from this plugin where the username is just blank.

    Is there a filter or action I can hook into that would let me remove or ignore these notices specifically when there is no username provided?

    I would very much like to keep notices regarding lockouts enabled. Lockout notices with just a date and reason, no IP or username, kinda feels like a waste of processing power and storage space. There should be an option to quiet these types of notices, or ignore the events completely since WordPress does not allow for empty username or password.

    Thanks for your time and support.

    Hi,

    The Lockout Notifications mean that the plugin is helping prevent attacks on your site, by keeping out unauthorized users trying to guess usernames and passwords. Based on your description it sounds like your site is under a Brute Force attack.

    You can disable the Lockout Notifications and enable the Security Digest in the Notification Center settings. The Security Digest reduces the number of emails sent so you can receive a summary of lockouts, file change detection scans, and privilege escalations. You can set these notifications to be sent daily or weekly.

    Unfortunately, there is not a way to turn off notifications for just that type of lockout.

    Thanks,
