Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about DadsFam Login Security

It locks out by IP after repeated failed logins. Add your own IP to the Allow list under Settings to be safe. If you ever get stuck, lockouts expire on their own, or you can clear the wp_dfls_lockouts database table.

Yes — the honeypot and protection also apply to the WooCommerce login form.

Disabling just pingbacks is safe for nearly everyone. Disabling XML-RPC completely can affect the WordPress/Jetpack mobile app and some remote-publishing tools, so that option is off by default.
