<p>Login Obfuscator makes your login responses more unpredictable to brute-force bots. It adds a subtle security layer by sending an HTTP 403 Forbidden status on failed login attempts, confusing automated attacks that expect standard 200 or 302 responses.</p>
<p>This plugin is simple and silent:<br />
* No configuration required<br />
* No user interface<br />
* Works automatically on activation</p>
<p>Why it works:<br />
* Bots rely on predictable responses (200 = fail, 302 = success)<br />
* A 403 status confuses many automated scripts<br />
* Some bots slow down or stop attacking altogether</p>
