Login Lockdown Settings

All in one WP Security offers:

• Enable login lockdown function - Turn it ON to reflect the settings
• Allow unlock request
• Maximum number of login attempts - how many incorrect login attempts will be allowed before locking out
• Login attempt time - Set whether to lock out after a certain period of incorrect login attempts
• Minimum lockout time - The minimum time a user will be unable to log in for a certain period of time
• Maximum lockout time - You will not be unable to log in for longer than the set time.
• Show temporary error message - the error message to display if login fails
• Immediate lockout with invalid username - Immediately locks out users who log in with a username that does not exist in the system. Note that you will also be locked out if you enter the wrong username.
• Instantly lock specific usernames - This is useful for preventing specific users from logging in to a membership site, etc.
• Notify by email - If a user is locked out, you will be notified by email.

This is a setting example. If you make a mistake 5 times or for more than 5 minutes, it will be locked for 5 minutes. It is also set up so that the administrator is notified by email.
