 * In your “awesome features” you list this capability: “Easy to use kill switch
   to **temporarily turn off all Firewall Features** without disabling the plugin
   or even logging into WordPress.”
 * I can’t find the info on how to do that. Can you please point me in the right
   direction on where to find that information?
 * And if a user gets blocked for too many login attempts, does disabling the firewall
   allow them to login then?
 * I am having issues with some users not remembering their passwords for their 
   customer accounts in our shop.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi, this is how to knock off the firewall if you’re locked out.

 * I knew that already but technically that’s not a “kill switch” in the technical
   sense of the word. But thank you for your prompt response.
