 * For some reason, sometimes with I’m logged in and working on the site (doing 
   a lot of updates). I suddenly get blocked (32ac07b0-64ff-427b-8283-8b21c7bafe76)
   and get logged out. I have to wait for a while, but within about a half hour,
   I’m able to log back in. I’ve added my IP address in the whitelist, but is there
   anything else I should adjust to not have this happen?

 * Hi [@aliamm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aliamm/)
 * That doesn’t sound like our plugin as that string of numbers and letters you 
   have provided is not generated by our plugin. Also our plugin will not terminate
   your login session. Do you have a full page screenshot of the block page as that
   may provide clues?

 * Thanks for your response. From it, I suspect that the website’s host is probably
   running some security feature that I don’t know about. This started happening
   recently. They just got ‘bought out’, so I’ll have to contact the new technical
   support.
