I have CSF on my server and I use directadmin. when a user has 2 login failure in wordpress website csf add code like this in .htaccess file:

Code: Select all

# BEGIN Brute Force Login Protection
<FilesMatch ".*\.(php|html?|css|js|jpe?g|png|gif)$">
order deny,allow
deny from 178.63.180.101
</FilesMatch>
# END Brute Force Login Protection
how can I increase the number of login failure for wordpress users?

Are you using the "BFLP plugin" inside Wordpress? I believe that is what is managing this section in your .htaccess.

You should be able to manage the number of failed attempts required within the plugin settings.
