 * I cannot just always go to database to release the lockout
 * This just happens after the latest update:
    I am using the wordpress android 
   app and whenever i try to post something, it will lock me out for “brute force”
   reason. The login are correct.
 * Please fix this. i am reverting to ithemes security’s previous version because
   it’s more stable

 * Was about to post the same problem, glad there’s at least on more person reporting
   this.
    I’m getting a similar report from a client when using the ios wp app. 
   She keeps getting locked out while using the correct credentials.
 * In addition to that, she gets disconnected from the regular admin interface when
   she’s inserting images, either prexisting ones or new uploads.
 * I’ve disabled the plugin and everything works smoothly.

 * Hi,
 * I apologize for the trouble. There is a compatibility issue here. The developer
   is aware and a near future release will address it.
 * Thanks,
