Allow Minutes rather than Hours in Authentication / Settings / Block IP addresses...

In Authentication / Settings / Block IP addresses with consecutive failed logins, we are only allowed to enter number of hours in Block duration field. Would be nice to be able to enter number of minutes instead, this would significantly reduce support calls.

    Hi @SteveV

    I can pass that along to the folks that maintain that feature. Via default settings, that would mean a user needs to fail at logging in 10 times in an hour (which would generally mean consecutively, as they'll generally stop logging in after they succeed.) Presuming these are the values you have set, I'd suggest contacting support to see if we can work out why users would be failing to log in at that rate.
