User and Host lockout won’t work

    Hi
    I’ve tried to lock myself out entering a bunch of 404 urls or wrong passwords attempts, but even if in logs it says “Host or User Lockout” it allows me anyway to continue trying…
    Is there any other configuration I should apply in order to make it work?

    Click on the Details link of the “Host or User Lockout” entry in the Logs page.

    That’s where you’ll find your answer.

    Hi

    Thanks for your reply ??
    I’ve checked the Details.. it says

    0 = A whitelisted host has triggered a lockout condition but was not locked out.

    But that IP address is not in the whitelist. :/

    Yep, it’s probably not in the permanent whitelist (Global Settings -> Lockout White List).
    However there is a second (temporary) whitelist which is maintained automatically when you login as an Administrator. Unfortunately there is nothing in the plugin admin ui that shows this. You’ll need to dig into the database to see it.

    According to the 5.4.0 Changelog:

    Enhancement: New automatic temp whitelisting of IPs for users that manage iThemes Security settings.
