Good day,

I'm not finding an alternate method for allowing an Administrator to login to the back end, if there is one.

I did find several instances of their IP attempts and entered a range for those.

However that was unsuccessful as their IP totally changed the next time.

Is there another method to allow an Administrator to login with out entering a specific IP?

If not, that's fine.

Thank you - have a great day!

Drew,

If you mean the Administrator IP Whitelist, there is a way to set it up with a dynamic IP address. You can find the details here, at the bottom of the page.

There are also alternatives to using the Administrator IP Whitelist. You can use either the Secret URL Parameter or the Password Protect Administrator features to make your back end login more "bulletproof".
