My log says ‘Unlocked’, what does it mean?

    Hi there,

    Today I noticed a new column in the logs, saying: ‘Unlocked’. I never saw this before, so I wonder what it actually means and what the hacker did to ‘unlock’. Do I have to worry about this?

    Btw, I didn’t unlock anything myself.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Plimfec,

    Outdated lockouts get unlocked automatically after the time specified in the plugin config. This has nothing to do with hackers, this is just an indication for an admin that the IP is no longer locked.

    Hi,

    Well, that’s a relief, thanks!

    Only thing I still wonder: why wasn’t this in my logs before? The last column was always empty, for years. I didn’t even know that column existed. Weren’t the earlier attempts unlocked then? Or is it a feature in the new version?

    Hey Plimfec,

    This is a feature of the recent plugin’s version. We will make it less confusing in the further versions. Thank you.
