Greetings!

I recently updated my joomla site from version 3.10 to the lasted 4.3.4. Updated admintools accordingly.

My joomla site is an social network and naturally people are mistyping passwords etc and getting blocked out.

How do I disable this block altogether? I've been trying my best to fathom it even after reading docs and searching forum.

Maybe I'm missing it? People wont return if they think they are blocked, and I had one person email me telling me its giving too much information (the whole web address url) on the website when they are failed.

I'd rather have this turned off if possible. Thanks!
