Password & Access Restrictions 

• Restrict by IP Address(es) -To use this feature you must be using a "fixed IP" address. Contact your ISP if your unsure. It's possible to restrict a user's access to one or many IP addresses. Just enter the IP address under “Password & Access Restrictions' . (if your IP address rotates between a few IP addresses, enter a comma to separate the list of IP addresses). Leave the box blank to continue to allow the user to sign in from any IP address. 

Note that although relatively difficult, it is possible to detect and 'spoof' IP addresses, so IP address restrictions should be enabled alongside strong passwords.
