# Setting Lockout Email Notifications

In the plugin dashboard, navigate to the **“Settings”** tab. In the **“General Settings”**, scroll to **“Notify on lockout”**. By default, the system will notify you after 3 IP lockouts and send to the email you specify in this field. By default, the email is set to your WordPress admin email. If you lower this number, you will likely receive more notifications, but also have more awareness of failed logins on your website. You may also disable this feature altogether by unchecking the box, which we do not recommend unless you are signed up for premium. Otherwise, you will be unaware of elevated attacks.

{% hint style="info" %}
We suggest keeping the default setting unless suggested by your web host or a security professional.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
