    This regards the field “Immediately block the IP of users who try to sign in as these usernames” – the backend interface for it.
    With the LastPass Chrome extension installed, the text input field is auto-filled with the current WP user (if the account has been saved to LP). This makes it all too easy to lock oneself out of the site.
    I know technically it’s for LP to fix, but they wont. So would be good if you could take a look and see what can be done. The LP extension is certainly over-eager in filling in emails and has no respect for autocomplete attribute values, so changing the input field’s name/id might be the best option.

    Hi @loxlie, thanks for reaching out about this.

    I’ve taken a look at that field and LastPass must base its decision on something slightly different to simple naming as the containers and select box are prefixed with “wf” and aren’t just referred to as words like “login” or “username”. I’m not confident renaming our field would guarantee different behavior as a result of that but I will put it forward to the team for further discussion.

    I think the best solution would be adding a “Never URL” in LastPass’ settings and adding “yourdomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=WordfenceOptions”. admin.php might suffice to avoid this happening with other plugins too. So long as the URL doesn’t end with wp-login.php or /wp-admin, it should ignore the specific URL rather than the entire site. Naturally reach out to LastPass support if there’s a problem setting this up as my assumptions may not be 100% correct with their product.

    I hope this helps you out!
    Peter.

    Thanks for looking into this.
    For anyone else with the issue, LastPass’s Chrome extension’s Advanced preferences has a “Respect AutoComplete=off” setting which fixes this. Don’t know if its new, and its off by default, but checking the option sorts the issue.
