I’m picking this is because I fundamentally fail to understand this Brute Force Protection code.s full purpose. I tried to enter the password to the page and got a 403 error for my sins, and this error message in my log:

Am I to assume that having this code will prevent me from using password protected pages? I have removed it now.
