Incredibly intrusive and annoying

    The plugin in itself seems to work (or does it?), but be prepared to get thousands of false-positive (25 000 yesterday).

    It “detected” false login by the thousands, polluted my email inbox accordingly, just in order to sell to me an upgrade for the “pro” version.

    I missed important emails, resulting in one of my website being suspended, as a result.

    I am moving to a more down to earth and simple solution. yes, it exists. I mean efficient and not intrusive. I will avoid “reloaded” plugin next.

    Hi Paoloeuvard,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m truly sorry to hear about the frustration you experienced with Limit Login Attempts Reloaded. We can understand how overwhelming a high volume of email notifications can be and the impact it had on your workflow and website management.

    Here are a few steps and solutions that might help address the issues you encountered:

    1. Adjusting Notification Settings:
      To prevent your inbox from being overwhelmed, you may turn off email notifications in the plugin settings. This way, you can reduce the frequency of alerts or disable them altogether while still keeping your site secure.
    2. False Positives and Fine-Tuning:
      A high number of detections may sometimes be attributed to aggressive bots or even? settings within your hosting provider that generate false positives. You can adjust the thresholds for login attempts and lockout periods in the plugin settings to better suit your website’s activity. We’ve created a blog to help our users better understand “fake” login attempts – https://www.limitloginattempts.com/blogs/could-these-failed-login-attempts-be-fake/.?
    3. Support for Unique Scenarios:
      We would love to investigate why the plugin detected such a high volume of activity and help ensure your site has correct settings. If you’re open to it, please reach out to our support team directly at [email protected] so we can look into this for you.
