Stalza

Locked out

Regain access when Login Protection blocks your IP or user.

From another admin session

If you still have an admin browser open:

  1. Go to Stalza Security → Login.
  2. Unlock the IP or username.
  3. Add your office / home IP to the allowlist if it is stable.

From the database / WP-CLI

If you are fully locked out, temporarily disable Login Protection:

-- Option name may vary by install; inspect with:
-- SELECT option_name FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE 'stalza%';

Or remove the plugin folder via SFTP (wp-content/plugins/stalza-security), log in, then restore the plugin and adjust allowlists before re-enabling protection.

Prevention

  • Allowlist static office IPs.
  • Prefer application passwords / SSO over sharing one admin password.
  • Do not lower lockout thresholds on sites behind CGNAT without allowlisting.
