The plugin automatically whitelists users IP’s when they save their profile.
Could you expand on that? I just installed the plugin on my blog, and its terrific! My site has been hit with off-and-on brute force attempts. I tried to publish something with Windows Live Writer and it failed. The script emailed me about a brute force attempt going on and asked me if I was logging in, as it detected someone logged in. I had to change my password to get in. Will I always have to do that under those circumstances, or does it store my IP so I can log in without problem even if I’m being brute forced?
I have another site too. When you say it will whitelist my ip when I save my profile, do I just change my password to do that? Or how do I trigger that whitelist?
Thanks for the plugin! I can’t believe something like this isn’t built into WordPress!
I’d guess the wrong username/password was entered into Live Writer and it made several requests to authenticate.
All you need to do is save your profile page. (I assume WP will call the hook even if nothing is changed.)
