 * My company is trying Bruteprotect as the first step in our struggle with DDoS
   attacks.
 * Setup went great and everything works for me. However, when my IT director logs
   in it asks for his Access Token. Does he need to create a new access token for
   himself? Will that work with the API Key that I created? I’m confused because
   it only asks me for the API Key.
 * WordPress version 3.8.5, BruteProtect 2.3.3
