# Permanent Lockout

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for your easy to use plugin!
 * I can only lock out bad IPs for 999 hours max. although I get malicious requests
   by fixed IPs for months. How can I permanently lock out these? I dont understand
   why this is not possible.
 * I also dont want that the first step is a maximum of 999 minutes of lockout before
   the aggressive lockout kicks in.
 * I need the permanent lockout after a failed login. Since I am the owner I have
   the credentials so I dont want ANYBODY to be able to try to login.
 * Please help me with that. I’d be able to hardcode it if you tell me where.
 * Thanks in advance!
    Jonas

 * Hi! I would not recommend doing that but you can edit the setting HTML field 
   in a browser. Open the browser console and change the maxlength attribute of 
   the text setting field. The default value is 3.

 * Just wanted to give a final feedback on that: I am happy I can lock out the IPs
   for 19 years now vs. blocking the same over and over again 🙂
