Hello, today a writer for the blog received an email asking to “VERIFY YOU LOGGED IN TO…” and when I tried to log in as the admin, it told me I needed to reset my password. Upon attempting that, it says that admins can’t do that.
So, I disabled the plugin via FTP by renaming the folder.
I could easily delete and reinstall the plugin to regain functionality, however, I want to know if there’s a way to fix this so I can find out why I was locked out. Last I knew the plugin was keeping track of stats, the last thing I wanna do is delete that precious data. What should I do? Thanks!

I have a feeling you’re behind a load balancer. To verify, SSH into your webserver. Invoke the MySQL client (mysql -u your_sql_user_name -p your_database_name). Then run this query:

SELECT ip, COUNT(*) FROM wp_login_security_solution_fail
GROUP BY ip ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC;

If you have only one row (or very few rows) show up, my hunch is right. To rectify that, please read the installation instructions. You can do so either via the readme.txt file in the plugin or at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/login-security-solution/installation/
