<p>A while ago, arc90 decided that having to submit a form to find out if you’ve entered the right password was inefficient, so they set about finding a quick and secure way of telling you if the password you’ve entered is correct. They came up with <a href="http://lab.arc90.com/2009/07/hashmask.php" rel="nofollow ugc">Hashmask</a> which does that pretty well.</p>
<p>When you enter your password into the field, you’ll be shown a little graphic. Remember that graphic! That’s the visual representation of your password. For instance, if I enter my password I see a green shape, with two peaks at the beginning. If I type it in, and that’s not the graphic I see then I’ve typed it wrong and know to type it again (without wasting time submitting the page)!</p>
<p>It’s completely secure though. Even if someone sees what shape your password makes, there’s nothing that can do to convert that image back to a real word.</p>


Hashmask for WordPress

Adding arc90's Hashmask to the login form; a secure way to quickly check you've typed the right password.

<h4>Why Use Limit Login Attempts Security?</h4>
<p>By default, WordPress allows unlimited login attempts. This creates a major security vulnerability where bots and attackers can repeatedly guess usernames and passwords until they gain access. This is especially important in the age of AI, where attackers now have access to faster and more sophisticated tools than ever before.</p>
<p>Limit Login Attempts Security helps stop:</p>
<ul>
<li>Brute force attacks</li>
<li>Bot login attacks</li>
<li>Credential stuffing attacks</li>
<li>XML-RPC attacks</li>
<li>Unauthorized login attempts</li>
<li>WooCommerce login abuse</li>
<li>Malicious IP access attempts</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin automatically blocks excessive login attempts and locks out suspicious IP addresses and usernames before attackers can gain access.</p>

Limit Login Attempts Security – Login Security, 2FA, Firewall, Brute Force Prevention

Love that it shows how many attempts are left, so hopefully users don't lock themselves out. Also ought to deter hackers if they see that... and if it doesn't, then they get locked out anyway :)

It works great!


некоторое время работал, потом, видимо, пришло обновление и капец - начало просто всех подряд блокировать. Зайти в админку невозможно


перестал нормально работать

Just excellent

Good plugin


Very good software. Thank you for this free version that enhances our security!
