    I have iThemes set up to lock out a host after 10 invalid login attempts, lock out a user after 20 invalid login attempts, and maintain lockout for 5 minutes. I tested the host lockout and it locked me out after 10 – great. I tried from a different host and after only 5 login attempts, it locked out the user.

    I tried 10 minutes later, and a single invalid login attempt locked out the user again.

    I tried again with a different user (for which I hadn’t attempted any logins), and again a single invalid attempt locked out that user.

    I tried an hour later, and again was locked out after a single invalid attempt.

    Maybe it’s not resetting the invalid login count for users?
