Instant Lockout not working

    I have specified a specific username to immediately lockout the user if there is an attempted login with that username.

    But I keep geting this message with the username I specified to immediately lockout:

    A user with IP address (Ip address was here) has been locked out from 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: ‘(Username was here)’.
    The duration of the lockout is 4 hours.

    Hi @wordpressrun

    You can add a username to the option “Immediately block the IP of users who try to sign in as these usernames” but if an account already exists with that username then this option will not be executed for that username and an IP address that attempts to login with that username will not be immediately blocked.

    That was the issue, thank you!
