banned_ip
v1 v2 4 4 5 5 We know this is a pain (and can be a cause of extreme stress), however, we've implemented this behavior because our servers are regularly attacked by hackers who make hundreds of login attempts with a dictionary of passwords in an effort to guess a person's login. By banning an IP address that gets more than three attempts wrong, we can virtually eliminate the threat that this type of attack poses. 6 7 If you find yourself unable to connect to your site and you tried to login unsuccessfully three times, please wait a few minutes a try again.
