 * Hello,
    if I add usernames to “Immediately block the IP of users who try to sign
   in as these usernames” is it possible to use some wildcards? For example I want
   to block all usernames start with admin admin_wp admin-ofpage myadmin
 * can I use something like *admin* ?

 * Hi [@urka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urka/),
 * This section is case-sensitive but does not currently support wildcards whereas
   options like “**Immediately block IPs that access these URLs**” does. Usernames
   listed have to match exactly with a user’s input to trigger this blocking feature.
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.
