META: Blocked IP Address
So I tried logging in to MGoBlog on a school computer a few minutes ago and although I had typed in the right password, I got an error message: "Too many failed login attempts from your IP address. This IP address is temporarily blocked. Try again or request a new password."
So I requested a new password. I get an email on my phone and then change my password from my phone. I then try to login on the computer, and it gives me the same error.
So I pull out my laptop, and I see that it logged me out. I try to login, and it gives me the same error! What's the deal?
For those who are going to ask, "well how did you post this?" I was logged in on my phone when I changed my password.

Looks like we found the real franklin hatchett

...or maybe Frames Janklin

You are not the only person this happened to today we are checking it out. It may have been an attack (bots start trying to log in as frequent users)

Those OSU bots may be proud now, but they ain't gonna be come Saturday!

This is an easy fix. Just pull the Nebechadnezzar over to the side, shut her down, and ready the EMP cannon. When it seems like the bots are about to tear through the Hull, and Neo is safely out of the Matrix, fire the EMP cannon.

I only know one person who believes you, Comrade.

And that person has dementia.

I think you're jumping to conclusions here. This is much more likely Urban Meyer experiencing memory issues and he just kept forgetting his password.

Had the same login problem earlier today.

Had the same issue earlier trying to log into my phone and obviously now it works because I posted this.

Had same issue and was unable to reset password so I dropped a line to MgoManagement and Seth was able to reset my password at his end and passed it along to HUEL who apparently fixed the problem. Seth said it looks like Bots attacked the site using frequent posters usernames trying to get in.
Yay HUEL! No, I'm serious - yay HUEL. Thanks for fixing this so quickly.

"IP block" sounds inaccurate then. Temporary username lock, maybe.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:24 AM ^
I too am having this issue.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:42 AM ^
What's the deal?
-OR-
What's YOUR Deal?

I am not having this issue. :( I guess I need to post more.
Or change my password back to 1-2-3-4-5... but I heard I shouldn’t re-use the combination from my luggage.

Use "password" no one would ever guess that.
