Kev OK so question, I have my admin password protected so you need to enter a login name and password just to get to the admin login… will jetpack still be able to protect my login from brute force? Also I block all IP’s excepts those I whitelist in my htaccess file, which is a pain bc/ most IP’s myself and clients work from are dynamic and change. I would assume with the new brute force protection it is ok to stop this practice? Not understanding the new Whitelist IP box, why would I ever need to whitelist my IP? and how the heck can I whitelist it if there is an issue and I can’t even get to the login page? Thanks!
