I am having some trouble understanding the “Treat failed lo- gins as security exceptions” options as outlined on page 66 of the Admin Tools manual!
On the Joomla Hardening Options page I have “Treat failed logins as security exceptions “ set to YES.
I note that I have a message that says:
“User registration on your site is disabled, therefore Admin Tools can't deactivate users.”
I am guessing that this refers to the standard Joomla Registration options!?!
And I note that I can not edit “Deactivate user after“ fields.
When I go to the Logging and Reporting Section section I note that in the “Deactivate user after” there is no reference to “Login Failure”
I can definitely register on my site here:

The thing is that I use Easy Social:

Is there a way to get Admin tools to log failed Easy Social Logins automatically Deactivate a Easy Social User after X failed attempts in X time?
thanks
Paul
