<a href="https://www.limitloginattempts.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Limit Login Attempts Reloaded</a> functions as a robust deterrent against <a href="https://www.limitloginattempts.com/cracking-the-code-unveiling-the-mechanics-behind-brute-force-attacks/" rel="nofollow ugc">brute force attacks</a>, bolstering your website’s security measures and optimizing its performance. It achieves this by restricting the number of login attempts allowed. This applies not only to the standard login method, but also to XMLRPC, Woocommerce, and custom login pages. With more than 2.5 million active users, this plugin fulfills all your login security requirements.
The plugin functions by automatically preventing further attempts from a particular Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or username once a predetermined limit of retries has been surpassed. This significantly weakens the effectiveness of brute force attacks on your website.
By default, WordPress permits an unlimited number of login attempts, posing a vulnerability where passwords can be easily deciphered through brute force methods.

Limit Login Attempts Reloaded – Login Security, Brute Force Protection, Firewall

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

Block excessive login attempts and protect your site against brute force attacks. Simple, yet powerful tools to improve site performance.
