IP security
Staff login IP restriction: The IP for the staff member can be restricted from accessing the staff or manage portal if the staff login IP restriction is enabled.

Towards the bottom of the screen it will list out all the IP addresses that are allowed to access manage or staff portal. The particular IP can also be removed from the listing by the delete option.
Note: If you are facing any of the trouble in white listing the IP addresses then the network administrator can be contacted to white list the IP addresses. Also one can refer whatismyipaddress.com to get all the basic information about the IP addresses.
Password security
