Proposed
I could be useful to add a setting like "Block Authentication by Country" even for the system administrators login.

This can give us more security

Hey Gabriele! I think this is a great idea, and I'll get this added to my list to bring up with Product Management. But, I don't know if, or how quickly this might get added so please keep an eye on our release notes for updates on that front.

Or better yet, how about adding IP restrictions on the system admin logins? Seeing SM uses the same port for sys admin and end user interfaces we can't restrict admin logins to certain IP ranges via a firewall.

Just the other day our system admin got locked out by the IDS due to failed attempts, we created a secondary admin in the past just for such occasions but it would be so much better if the admin could be locked down via IP.

System administrators can have IP restrictions applied. Go to Settings > Administrators and click on the administrator you want to add an IP restriction to. On the Options card, enable the "Restrict login access by IP" toggle and add the permitted IP addresses on the IP Restrictions card.

Thanks Andrew.... I wonder how long I've been overlooking that setting.
