User Lockout

Sends an email when someone is blocked for trying the wrong password too many times.

Extended Lockout

Sends an email when a persistent hacker is blocked for a long time (usually because they kept trying to break in).

Recovery URL Used

Sends an email if someone uses the secret “Emergency Unlock Key.”

Email Rate Limit

If your site is under attack, you might get hundreds of alerts in a few minutes. This setting stops that. It limits the emails to 10 (default) per hour. This way, you stay informed, but your inbox doesn’t get completely clogged up.

Once you have your email address set and your choices made, click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
