ip_blocked after two tries

  • Hey,
    when using the REST API POST request to authenticate useres with username and password, i get blocked for 15 minutes after two failed tries.
    – I check the whole WP SQL tables
    – I searched the internet
    – I searched this forum
    – I searched the files includes with the plugin

    I cannot find any way to see where this IP block comes from.
    I would love to edit the max failed logins from 2 to 4 or more.
    Any idea where this blockade comes from?
    After 4x beeing blocked for 15 minutes I get blocked for 24 hours.

    I tried installing the Plugin “Limit Login Attempts Reloaded”, hoping I can overwrite the IP block that way, but no, it’s still the same (works for the Webpage itself tho)

    `{
    “code”: “[jwt_auth] ip_blocked”,
    “message”: “You have exceeded maximum login retries<br /> Please try after 15 minute(s)”,
    “data”: {
    “status”: 403
    }
    }

  • I think you have a plugin that extends the jwt auth and add a block feature
    because I tried too many and I didn’t get blocked
