 * I would like to get some information regarding how blocking works when logging
   into a website. For example, today we only entered the password incorrectly once,
   and the website blocked us.
 * In this case, does the system also consider if we made an error yesterday? Does
   this accumulate, and the system blocks the user based on this?
 * If the system blocked me, why am I able to log in, say, 10 minutes later? Why
   does it lift the block? Is it because it recognizes that we usually log in from
   this IP address and correctly?
 * Could I get more information about the blocking process?

 * Hi [@szilard21](https://wordpress.org/support/users/szilard21/),
 * Please have a look at the [Brute Force Protection and Banned Users](https://solidwp.com/blog/solid-security-pro-feature-spotlight-local-brute-force-protection-banned-users/)
   Blog post (if not already). In case there are any questions left after reading
   the Blog post just let us known.

 * Hi [@szilard21](https://wordpress.org/support/users/szilard21/), I hope the information
   provided by [@nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) helped!
 * To provide a bit of context the behavior you experienced was a Site Lockout which
   lasts for 15 minutes and will be lifted right after. After reaching the Ban Threshold,
   that’s when Solid Security permanently bans the IP.
 * If you still require further assistance, feel free to open a new support topic,
   and we’d be happy to assist.
   Thank you!
