    I have 2 failed login attempts (past 24 hrs) on the dashboard of the plugin but when I go the the log file there is nothing in the logs all it says is No lockouts yet should the not be ip addresses for the blocked logins ?

    Hi Lemjack7,

    A lockout is recorded after a certain amount of failed login attempts happens. This means a number of login attempts in the log almost always higher than the number of lockouts.

    Yes I understand that but there are no IP adresses for the failed logings in the log file.

    You’re seeing the “No lockouts” text on the Logs tab of the plugin, correct? If you have 2 attempts, but no lockouts, that means that per your settings a lockout should happen after more than 2 attempts. Please let us know if you meant something else.

    Yes that is correct but in the settings I have it set to 1 allowed retries only.

    Then the failed attempts happened from different IP addresses and hence didn’t generate a lockout.

    I see then you need more than one login for the IP address to appear in the log files.Thank you for your time.
