Settings keep changing.

    I’ve been successfully using this wonderful plugin for about a month.

    Because of a very incessant hacker, I recently changed the settings to block out logins for 24 hours.

    That worked for only a few days.

    This morning, I found the settings had been changed to block out for just 5 minutes. When I tried to change it back to 24 hours, I got the message “Update failed.”

    I solve this by deleting the plugin and re-installing it, but it happened again. This is the case on several of my sites.

    Why does this keep happening? Why do settings keep going back to the original ones?

    Does this mean a hacker can corrupt the plugin or is this an unstable plugin?

    (BTW, Wordfence didn’t indicate the file was changed at all).
