Lockout Duration (Minutes)

Description: Sets how long an IP/user stays locked out after exceeding max attempts.

How it works: When the threshold is hit, Login Guard stores a lockout with an expiry based on lockout_minutes.

How to access / configure:

  1. WP Admin → AegisShield → Login Guard.
  2. Find “Lockout Minutes”.
  3. Set the duration and Save Changes.

Recommended setting: 15–30 minutes is a good baseline; increase if attacks persist.
