 Is it possible to auto-block IPs from admin attempted log-ins based on given username?
This would be nice
Anyone logging in with, say, User: admin, administrator log and auto-block IP (permanently).

Hello Mark,

I'm sorry but there isn't anything like that.
However there are other ways to protect your backend: you can add a secret params to the administrator url or disable super admin login from frontend.

Thanks,

I just thought it would be a handy feature.
90+% of my log-in attempts could be easily handled this way.
IF
password=bad
AND user= 'admin' or 'administrator'
THEN
block THIS IP permanently.
