<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

Your website deserves protection that’s simple, fast and built for WordPress. SiteLock WordPress Security focuses on the everyday controls that matter most and helps you establish a secure baseline in minutes — WordPress-specific hardening, login protection and a clear Site Health dashboard that keeps you in control without slowing your site down. 
It’s lightweight, action-first protection that complements your host defenses: essential safeguards run inside WordPress while deeper checks happen securely in the SiteLock cloud. Skip heavy on-server scans and alert fatigue — run on-demand checks when you need extra assurance, so you can ship updates with confidence.
<h4>Security that grows with you</h4>
Our goal is straightforward: maintain a strong baseline with minimal overhead while giving you clear visibility and room to grow as your needs evolve. 
And because security is never static, this plugin keeps pace. Next up: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to strengthen login security (coming soon).
<h4>Commercial plugin</h4>
This plugin is free but offers additional paid commercial upgrades or support.
<h3>What’s included</h3>
<h4>WordPress Hardening: Cut common attack paths in just a few clicks.</h4>
<ul>
<li>Disable directory listing.</li>
<li>Restrict PHP execution in upload folders.</li>
<li>Limit unsafe script types.</li>
<li>Force strong configuration defaults to close risky gaps.</li>
</ul>
All options are toggle-based and reversible — safe to enable, easy to test and lightweight on performance
<h4>Login Security: Protect what matters most — your access</h4>
<ul>
<li>Brute-force defense: Blocks repeated failed logins and temporarily locks abusive IPs.</li>

<li>Session timeouts: Automatically end idle sessions to prevent account hijacks.</li>
<li>Activity awareness: View recent logins and admin changes in the Activity Log.</li>
</ul>
Heads-up: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) — a second layer of verification for even greater login protection. It’s already in development and will arrive as part of the next plugin milestone.
<h4>Site Health & Cloud Checks: Clarity without noise.</h4>
<ul>
<li>Site Health Dashboard: Surface key signals in one view — WordPress hardening status, last scan timestamp and actionable indicators</li>
<li>Cloud Checks: Connect your free SiteLock account to enable recurring off-server checks (Webpage Scan, SSL Verification, Email Reputation and more)</li>
<li>Scan Now: Run on-demand checks after updates or changes for instant assurance -no heavy, always-on local scanners</li>
<li>Activity Log: Track what’s happening across your WordPress admin. See admin/login events at a glance making it easy to spot anomalies early and keep accountability clear.</li>

If you manage a WordPress website, SiteLock gives you confidence and control whether you run one site or hundreds.
<h4>Can I Fix an Already-Infected Site with This Plugin?</h4>
The plugin focuses on prevention, posture and visibility — not full malware removal. It isn’t designed to fully clean up sites that were infected before it was active. 
If your site is already compromised, act quickly, we recommend:
<ul>
<li>Restoring from a clean backup if available</li>
<li>Remove malicious files manually or with professional help</li>
<li>For urgent assistance, consider <a href="https://www.sitelock.com/products/fix-hacked-site/" rel="nofollow ugc">SiteLock 911 – Emergency Malware Removal</a> for rapid cleanup</li>
<li>For ongoing defense, consider <a href="https://www.sitelock.com/pricing/" rel="nofollow ugc">choosing a comprehensive SiteLock plan</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Don’t Know Where To Start? Try This</h4>
Here are common first moves teams take with SiteLock. Order isn’t enforced — choose what fits your site and workflow:
<ul>
<li>Enable WordPress hardening that matches your hosting and theme setup</li>
<li>Turn on Login Security controls: brute-force lockouts, session timeouts, and password-hygiene prompts</li>
<li>Connect a free SiteLock account, then use Scan Now to run an on-demand check after plugin/theme updates</li>
<li>Review the Activity Log after major changes to spot unexpected admin/login events quickly 
Make one change at a time, validate and roll back any toggle that conflicts with your stack.</li>
