 * For some reason, many spammy IP bots try to login as legit users (including me
   as an admin). Therefore, it happens that the USER is locked out (including myself).
 * I just want the IP to be added to the list, not the actual account to be locked
   out, but I did not find any similar options.
 * How can I make user the user accounts remain intact and always accessible by 
   the right owner?
 * My website my be leaking users. Address: [http://www.dota2romania.com](http://www.dota2romania.com)(
   or hsromania.com as it’s a multisite)

 * Your website is indeed leaking user names as well as exposing your hidden login
   slug.
 * You may be able to find some relevant info in [this](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bruteforce-ban-not-efficiently-working)
