Holographic

Holographic Login Shield helps protect the WordPress login area from repeated failed logins, automated abuse and common account-discovery behaviour.
The plugin is designed to stay focused. It adds practical login hardening without replacing the WordPress admin area, adding unnecessary front-end assets or sending free-plugin security logs to an external service.
Free features include configurable failed-login lockouts, an automatic permanent IP block threshold, local allowed and blocked IP address lists, Cloudflare-aware visitor IP detection, a paginated recent activity log, CSV log export, log retention cleanup, generic login errors, XML-RPC control, Application Password control, optional author archive blocking, a hidden bot trap and optional throttled failed-login email alerts.
Allowed IP addresses can be added manually or with the Add My IP button. Blocked IP addresses can be added manually and are also populated automatically when the permanent blocking threshold is reached. Both lists remain local to your WordPress site.

Did you ever feel like your website or blog login page is ridiculously fragile and reachable, and could be easily broken in by an intruder?
Personally I hate to think of hundreds of people playing with my door lock hundreds of times a day. It’s the same with my blog login page.
On WordPress, there are two main potential vectors of bruteforce intrusion: 
* http://my-site.com/wp-login.php, which is the login page 
* http://my-site.com/xmlrpc.php, which is an API gateway for interacting with third party applications.
This plugin adds one security layer in front of your login page, and by the way you can also disable XML-RPC with a simple checkbox if you don’t need it (XML-RPC is a WIDELY used vector of attacks).
The idea is simple: you choose a pair of words, and when you want to access your login page, you just have to provide them in the URL like this: http://my-site.com/wp-login.php?word1=word2. That’s all! 
If you try to access your login page without this pair of words, you get a configurable error message, where you can insult the attacker as much as you want 😉

WP Login Door

Simple and useful
