On February 27th, 2021, GoDaddy announced that it was **upgrading** all of their
WordPress hosting customers to the latest version of WordPress. Also In the announcement,
GoDaddy mentioned it would be changing their customer’s plugin settings to **“automatic
update”**, which means plugins will no longer need to be manually updated. This 
means that the Limit Login Attempts Reloaded plugin was recently updated for **thousands
of GoDaddy customers**, and it came with some new features such as the [failed login alert](https://www.limitloginattempts.com/features/notifications-reports/)
email messages. 

## Email announcement from GoDaddy

GoDaddy currently installs **Limit Login Attempts Reloaded** on all WordPress hosting
accounts as part of their setup process. If you are a GoDaddy customer, you can 
go to “**settings**” on the WordPress dashboard to view **“Limit Login Attempts”**.**
Limit Login Attempts Reloaded** is installed on nearly 2,000,000 websites worldwide
and is the most popular plugin for stopping excessive login attempts on WordPress
websites. 

## Failed Login Email Alerts

We have received several emails from GoDaddy customers that they are receiving failed
login alerts. These emails indicate that there is a suspicious login attempt to 
your website, which was blocked by the plugin. It’s possible to receive several 
of these depending if there is an active attack. These emails are not coming from
our company, but from the website that has **Limit Login Attempts Reloaded** installed
on.

If customers do not want to receive them, they can be **turned off in the plugin
settings** by clicking the **“unsubscribe link”** on the bottom of the email. **
Our company is NOT sending these emails**, they are not spam, and they are **actual
suspicious login attempts** that may need to be addressed.

## Troubleshooting

For those that don’t own a website and receive a failed login alert message, it’s
possible some websites are still using admins emails of previous owners or employees.
Please forward the failed login alert messages to [limitloginattempts@gmail.com](https://www.limitloginattempts.com/blogs/guides/important-update-for-godaddy-customers/limitloginattempts@gmail.com)
and we can explain which website is using the email, and provide whatever contact
information is available. We cannot remove an email off of a WordPress website. 

If failed login alert messages persist, we first recommend changing all admin passwords.
We also offer an [upgraded version](https://www.limitloginattempts.com/plans/) of
the plugin that neutralizes the excessive logins in the cloud, throttles malicious
attempts, comes with premium support, and much more.
