<p>Limit the number of login attempts possible both through normal login as well as using auth cookies.</p>
<p>By default WordPress allows unlimited login attempts either through the login page or by sending special cookies. This allows passwords (or hashes) to be brute-force cracked with relative ease.</p>
<p>Limit Login Attempts blocks an Internet address from making further attempts after a specified limit on retries is reached, making a brute-force attack difficult or impossible.</p>
<p>Features</p>
<ul>
<li>Limit the number of retry attempts when logging in (for each IP). Fully customizable</li>
<li>Limit the number of attempts to log in using auth cookies in same way</li>
<li>Informs user about remaining retries or lockout time on login page</li>
<li>Optional logging, optional email notification</li>
<li>Handles server behind reverse proxy</li>
<li>It is possible to whitelist IPs using a filter. But you probably shouldn’t. 🙂</li>
</ul>

<p>Plugin uses standard actions and filters only.</p>


Limit Login Attempts

bad role

We had initial issues and tried again and it is working better.

Getting a lot better.


I absolutely hate bloated plugins, so I love this one. It's simple and works as expected. Guess it's wise to use a plugin such as this one, against brute force attacks.

<p>The Web Authentication API (also known as WebAuthn) is a specification written by the W3C and FIDO, with the participation of Google, Mozilla, Microsoft, Yubico, and others. The API allows servers to register and authenticate users using public-key cryptography instead of a password.</p>
<h4>Safe facial or fingerprint data</h4>
<p>The plugin recieves data which is provided by the device, your deivce tells the plugin if your person was recognized or not. It does not store your data, only token will be stored in WordPress without the ability to use it. It’s useless data without your physical access to the device.</p>
<h4>Focus on User Experience</h4>
<p>We follow the standard WordPress UX login page together with common-used elements to make using comfortable with a minimal footprint. Login and attach your device and passwordless login will available for the next login.</p>
<h4>FIDO 2 + WebAuthn</h4>
<p>WebAuthn was officially recognized as a W3C web standard in March 2019. Web Authentication is a new standard enabling the creation and use of strong, attested, scoped, public key-based credentials by web applications, for the purpose of strongly authenticating users using hardware authenticators.</p>
<h4>GDPR Safe</h4>
<p>The web standard was created from the outset with a “privacy by design” approach and are a strong fit for GDPR compliance. Crucially, the plugin delivers authentication with no third-party involvement or tracking between accounts. And when it comes to biometrics, FIDO and WebAuthn standards prevent this information from being stored and matched in servers – it never leaves the user’s device do not allow for any biometric data to be captured.</p>
<h4>Browsers Supports</h4>
<p>Passwordless WP is currently supported in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Apple Safari web browsers on iOS 14 and BigSur, as well as Windows 10 and Android platforms.</p>

Perfect and elegant
