Support » Plugin: Limit Login Attempts Reloaded » Missing 2 options: increase lockout time and reset

    Hey there,

    I just installed the new version (2.8.0) of Limit Login Attempts Reloaded.
    In the settings page, in the lockout section, only the first 2 options are available (# allowed entries and # minutes lockout) and the other 2 options are missing (# lockouts increase lockout time to # hours and # hours until retries are reset).

    Hope this will be repaired as soon as possible, because I am having a lots of brute-force login attempt from a lot of different Ip addresses: today already 90.

    Regards,
    Vanda Zocca

    Hello Vanda,

    The options are there and working, but temporary hidden. Could you please explain why the first 2 options are not enough?
    We hid them to make the admin interface and logic simpler, but would like to hear your thoughts. Thank you.

    Because I didn’t t see the 2 options, I thought they didn’t work.
    Does this mean that I can’t control the two hidden options anymore?
    What are the settings of the 2 hidden options right now?
    How does a user know of these options, if they are hidden?

    Hello,

    It was very comfortable to know that IP addresses with frequent hacking attepts are locked out for quite a long time (240hours – in my case) and to be able to set the reset period was also nice to have.
    IMHO having 3 more options will not make the admin interface more complex.
    I do not see the reasons why you made these settings hidden.
    Please let us control these settings again in the next release.
    Thank you.

    Best regards,
    Endre

    I am also not understanding why functionality that was there is now hidden. And also why this change isn’t indicated in the changelog. I echo the concerns and questions of the previous commenters!

    Thank you for an excellent plugin, used for many years.
