I am making changes in my website though my joomla control panel, but after 10 changes or more my login is being disabled for protection of "joomla brute force attacks" this prevents me from making large number of changes in my website. How can I deactivate Inmotion preventive measures.

Hello, Apologies for the problem that you're having with the brute force protection during login to your Joomla site. The security rules are server wide, so you can't turn them off. However, you can apply brute force protection within Joomla that would keep it from triggering the brute force security module on the server. Please see this tutorial on using the Joomla Admin dashboard option to protect your installation. There are also a number of Joomla extensions you can get to help secure your site. You may also want to consider these options for securing your Joomla login. I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know. Regards, Arnel C.
