  • Hi @danishhaidri,

    If you’re seeing too many failed login attempts within Live Traffic, you can lower the amount of attempts someone can try to login.

    Go into Wordfence -> All Options -> Brute Force Protection, the two fields to change are:

    – Lock out after how many login failures
    – Amount of time a user is locked out

    For example: https://i.imgur.com/cOpJyKC.png

    Hi @wfdave,

    Lower or increase the attempts someone can try to login?

    Hi again,

    – Decrease the amount of login attempts
    – Increase the amount of time a user is locked out

    This should reduce the amount of login attempts made by brute-forcing.

    Dave
