I am a WordPress user who employs Jet-pack plugin for my other functions including security and easy login. Having used this for a long time, there is this issue that has been disturbing me, the error of "Jetpack has locked your site's login page". Once this error shows, it means that you are unable to log in to your site as an admin thus requiring you have it fixed.
If you have gone through this and wondering the best way to solve Jetpack has locked your site's login page without employing any other third party, I will show you the easy way to fix this and get access to your admin login for your WordPress site.
What causes this IP flagging error?
Jetpack has a feature of brute force protection. This feature helps prevent bots and other users who attempt to accessing your login without the correct password. And once this happens a number of times, that particular IP address is locked. The lock then triggers the IP to be locked from access your WordPress admin thus locking you out.
While you cannot avoid such a feature for its good, the better way is to learn how to get past it which is contained below.
Fix
1. Visit your WordPress site and copy down the Blacklisted IP.
2. Visit WordPress,com and select the Locked site
3. Go to setting and security
4. Go to prevent brute force login attacks
5. Paste blacklisted IP under malicious login attempts and save.
Refresh your login and you will be done.
