 * When I select the switch “Display Generic Error Message” – it still displays 
   the error message, “your IP address has been blocked”
 * If I UNCHECK it, I get the same error message – i.e. It tells the hackers too
   much !
 * Why don’t we just give the hackers the keys to the back door already ?
 * How stupid is it to tell them what is happening ?
 * Really ;( ! ! !

 * Hi, can you please disable all User Login options. Then check again to see if
   you still see the error message? If you are you sure it is not coming from another
   plugin?
 * Can you also check the Log file?
 * Thank you

 * I just read my reply above and it is not correct.
 * This is a plugin feature added to let the user know why they were locked out.
 * I understand what you mean in regards to displaying the error message.
 * The plugin developers will further investigate your request.
 * Kind regards

   open up a new support ticket.
 * Thank you
