Lock out all but specific ips from wordpress login

I’ve got cretins trying to get into my wordpress site. I have the login locking system enabled to keep them out after 2 goes but it is becoming tiresome having the admin account locked and me locked out along with it if I haven’t left the bps page up and used it recently enough. Every unique ip I immediately copy into my firewall to block them from getting at the site at all but it is becoming tiresome. I am half wondering whether to turn the auto lock off and give up.

Basically I do not want anyone accessing the login system other than me. Is there a way to do this with the Free version? I thought I had found it and added in the allowed IP addresses with a deny from all in the htaccess file that mentions needing ftp access to alter it. It’s made no difference and logins are still attempted. I don’t want anyone else able to login at all or trigger a lockout.

What is the best way of doing this?  I expected it to be in the login security pages but there is nothing. Just how may goes, lockout time etc. Nothing about restricting logins to particular ips.
