Title: Bot Lock Last modified: February 23, 2026 --- # Bot Lock * Resolved [hari2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hari2014/) * (@hari2014) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bot-lock/) * Every day I get the same bots trying to log in with the same username but different IP addresses. They get blocked, which is fine. Is there an option to block specific usernames by default, so they can’t even access the website in the first place? * Example: Blocked username = OrlandoswegeTries to log in with different IP addresses but gets blocked immediately because their username is on the blacklist, regardless of the IP address they try to use! * Can something like this be implemented? Or is it already implemented, and I just haven’t noticed it? Thanks for any answers. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbot-lock%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Support [hjogiupdraftplus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hjogiupdraftplus/) * (@hjogiupdraftplus) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bot-lock/#post-18830955) * Hi [@hari2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hari2014/), * Could you please cross-check the audit log? Does it show any login attempts using the `wp-login.php` page? It isn’t possible to block a username instantly. * Also, please review the site access logs to see if the requests have a specific user agent — something different from a standard browser — that you might have configured to block under **AIOS → Firewall → Block and Allowlist**. * Finally, please check **AIOS → User Security → Login Lockout**. There’s an option called **“Instantly lockout specific usernames”**, but note that it requires at least one login attempt from that IP before the lockout is triggered; it doesn’t block instantly on the first request. * Regards * Thread Starter [hari2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hari2014/) * (@hari2014) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bot-lock/#post-18831274) * I use Ultimate Member as my login. I renamed the WordPress login page for security. It would be great if there were an option to block certain usernames from accessing the site altogether and permanently block them, with the option to contact the admin. * Plugin Support [hjogiupdraftplus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hjogiupdraftplus/) * (@hjogiupdraftplus) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bot-lock/#post-18831760) * Hi [@hari2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hari2014/) * Thanks for your suggestion, let me create an internal ticket for this. *  **AIOS → User Security → Login Lockout**. There’s an option called **“Instantly lockout specific usernames”**  is not useful ? * Regards * Thread Starter [hari2014](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hari2014/) * (@hari2014) * [1 month, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bot-lock/#post-18831811) * Doch natürlich ! aber Sie werden nur eine bestimmte Zeit gesperrt und nicht völlig ausgeschlossen.
