<p><strong>Block Logins with Cloudflare</strong> helps protect your WordPress site from brute-force attacks by blocking IPs at the Cloudflare firewall after a configurable number of failed login attempts.</p>
<ul>
<li>Block IPs via Cloudflare after X failed login attempts</li>
<li>Block IPs that generate excessive 404 responses (bots and scanners)</li>
<li>Block IPs attacking via XML-RPC with intelligent detection</li>
<li>Automatic unblocking after a configurable duration</li>
<li>Whitelist IPs to never block or track them (supports IPv6 CIDR ranges)</li>
<li>View and manually unblock blocked IPs from the admin</li>
<li>Block source tracking — see whether each IP was blocked via login, XML-RPC, or 404</li>
<li>Secure settings page with Cloudflare API token validation</li>
<li>Hourly cron job for automatic maintenance</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin relies on the <strong>Cloudflare API</strong> to function. It communicates with Cloudflare’s external servers to block IP addresses at the firewall level.</p>
<p><strong>What is the Cloudflare API and what is it used for?</strong><br />
The Cloudflare API is a RESTful service provided by Cloudflare, Inc. that allows programmatic management of Cloudflare firewall rules. This plugin uses it to automatically block and unblock IP addresses based on failed login attempts, XML-RPC attacks, and 404 scanning activity.</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent and when?</strong><br />
The plugin sends the following data to Cloudflare’s API servers:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>During settings validation</strong> (when you save Cloudflare credentials):</p>
<ul>
<li>Your Cloudflare API token (for verification)</li>
<li>Endpoint: <code>https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/user/tokens/verify</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>When blocking an IP</strong> (after a threshold is reached):</p>
<ul>
<li>The IP address to be blocked</li>
<li>Your Cloudflare email address and API key/token</li>
<li>Your Cloudflare Zone ID</li>
<li>A note describing the reason for the block</li>
<li>Endpoint: <code>https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/firewall/access_rules/rules</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p>No personally identifiable information about your WordPress users is transmitted. Only IP addresses are sent to Cloudflare.</p>
<p><strong>Service provider information:</strong><br />
– Service: Cloudflare API<br />

– Privacy Policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/<br />
– API Documentation: https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/</p>
<p><strong>Required for functionality:</strong><br />
This plugin requires a Cloudflare account and will not function without valid Cloudflare API credentials. The external API calls are essential to the plugin’s core functionality.</p>

<p><a href="https://melapress.com/wordpress-login-security/?utm_source=wp+repo&utm_medium=repo+link&utm_campaign=wordpress_org&utm_content=mls" rel="nofollow ugc">Melapress Login Security</a> enables you to effortlessly set login security policies that put you firmly in the driver’s seat of your WordPress sites. Policies are highly customizable and granular and can be implemented by user role or site-wide for complete control over the security of your WordPress login processes.</p>
<p>Use the free edition of Melapress Login Security to implement WordPress password requirements such as minimum length and complexity rules. The plugin also allows you to set password expiration policies, prevent password reuse, limit failed login attempts, and automatically disable inactive user accounts, among other things. This helps you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Prevent unauthorized login attempts</li>
<li>Protect against brute force attacks</li>
<li>Comply with GDPR with a login consent notice</li>
</ul>
<h3>🔐 Features list</h3>
<p>A secure WordPress login starts right here. Explore all of the features included with the free edition of <a href="https://melapress.com/wordpress-login-security" rel="nofollow ugc">Melapress Login Security</a>:</p>
<h3>Set password policies</h3>
<p>Strong passwords are your first line of defense against bad actors looking to gain access to your site. Set password requirement policies to make sure users set strong passwords. Set policies by user role or site-wide and define policy priority for users with multiple roles.</p>
<ul>
<li>Set minimum password length</li>
<li>Require uppercase and lowercase characters, numbers, and special characters</li>
<li>Set an automatic password expiration policy and advise users when their password is about to expire</li>

<h3>Limit login attempts</h3>
<p><a href="https://melapress.com/support/kb/melapress-login-security-failed-logins-policy-wordpress/?utm_source=wp+repo&utm_medium=repo+link&utm_campaign=wordpress_org&utm_content=mls" rel="nofollow ugc">Limit failed login attempts</a> and put an end to brute force attacks. Protect your login form by automatically disabling user accounts after a number of failed login attempts. Choose between manual unlocking by an admin or automatic unlocking after a cooldown period.</p>
<h3>Temporary login without password</h3>
<p>Provide temporary and secure login access to third parties, like developers, editors, employees or others, without a password. It works by providing the user with a temporary login link that expires after a certain amount of time, or after a number of uses. This prevents you from having to create new user accounts manually, while simultaneously reducing the security risks associated with old, unused user accounts.</p>
<h3>Change WordPress login URL</h3>
<p>Easily deploy security-by-obscurity tactics and change your WordPress login page URL using a plugin! Hiding the default login page from hackers makes it more difficult to find, potentially reducing brute force attacks and other unauthorized access attempts. After you change the default wp-admin URL, you can set a 404 for the old login page or redirect it to any page of your choosing.</p>
<h3>Limit login page access by IP address(es)</h3>
<p>Limit access to the WordPress login page by IP address(es) for additional security.</p>
<h3>GDPR login page consent notice</h3>
<p>Easily meet GDPR requirements by adding a GDPR consent notice to the login page. This is required for GDPR and PCI DSS compliance, thus ensuring your WordPress site login page is in compliance.</p>
<h3>Emergency password reset</h3>
<p>Discovered suspicious behavior? Reset all users’ passwords with just one click and regain instant control.</p>
<h3>Upgrade to Melapress Login Security Premium and get even more benefits.</h3>
