    Hello,
    As, inside the settings page, towards the bottom, there is a section which has options of collecting visitor IP addresses.
    So does it collect my website visitors’ IP addresses or only the IP addresses of people who access the wp-login page?

    Please clarify, thanks!

    Hi @bapun26

    The How to get IPs section is not for collecting IP addresses, it is to help you ensure that our Login Security plugin is able to detect visiting client IP addresses correctly. This is important if you are going to use the option Whitelisted IP addresses that bypass 2FA.

    For example, if you whitelist your IP address to bypass the two factor authentication feature and you are using the Cloudflare content delivery network then the How to get IPs section will show you if our Login Security plugin sees your real IP address or a Cloudflare IP address.

    You can find your IP address here:

    https://www.whatsmyip.org

    You then need to see your IP address on the line Your IP with this setting.

    If the IP addresses don’t match then our documentation for this option is here:
