Gerroald on "[Plugin: iThemes Security (formerly Better WP Security)] Original iThemes security settings lost after iThemes update"

A bug? This is a great big screw up, we have 100's of sites using this plugin and I am getting notice after notice of lock outs, backup zip files being emailed from sites we never had set up to email along with 'email lockout notifications being set to enable, all other settings lost on multiple installations.

It is not a user friendly 'new improved' dashboard, where is hide the back end feature and now my email is automatically added to receive updates under the Network Brute Force Protection? Each section has to be saved individually or your new settings will revert back, sometimes it refreshes back to the top sometimes it doesn't.

Did they do any QA or testing before launching...sure doesn't seem like it was very intensive if there was. Unfortunately a lot of our sites are set to auto update, going to change that straight away and going to delete this plugin and use something else. I would highly advise NOT to update this plugin and look for an alteative or wait until they sort it out.
