Login Security with Telegram Alerts is your comprehensive solution for fortifying WordPress login security and staying informed about critical site activities. It actively combats brute-force attacks, enhances user authentication with multi-factor options, and provides real-time alerts directly to your Telegram. Scalable for any site size, from personal blogs to large enterprises, it ensures your WordPress site remains secure and you’re always in the loop.
Key Features: 
Login Security with Telegram Alerts is packed with powerful features designed to give you peace of mind and full control over your site’s access.
Brute-Force Protection: Automatically blocks suspicious IP addresses after a configurable number of failed login attempts, effectively preventing dictionary attacks and credential stuffing.
Real-time Telegram Notifications: Receive instant alerts for failed login attempts and successful logins, delivered directly to your chosen Telegram channel, group, or private chat. This provides immediate awareness of critical site events, enabling prompt action.
Comprehensive Activity Logging: Maintains detailed records of both failed and successful login events, capturing critical information such as IP addresses, usernames, login times, and user agents. This log is invaluable for auditing and identifying suspicious patterns.
IP Management: Block or unblock IP addresses directly from the Activity Log with one-click actions. Administrators can manually manage IP blacklists and whitelists from the plugin’s settings page. 
WordPress Core Files Integrity Check: Verify that WordPress core files haven’t been tampered with by comparing them against official checksums from WordPress.org.
File Permissions Management: Automatically check and fix file permissions to match WordPress security standards, ensuring your installation follows best practices. 
Custom Admin URL: Hide your wp-admin login URL by creating a custom access point, adding an extra layer of security by obscurity.
Geolocation Integration: Includes location data in Telegram notifications, adding crucial context to security alerts and aiding in the investigation of suspicious activities. 
User-Friendly Admin Interface: An intuitive, tabbed settings page contributes to a clean and easy-to-use experience. 
Why Choose Login Security with Telegram Alerts?

User-Friendly: Engineered for quick setup, often achievable in minutes, with an intuitive interface that makes configuration accessible to users of all technical levels. 
Performance Optimized: Built with efficiency in mind, ensuring that robust security measures do not compromise site speed. 
Dedicated Support: A passionate team is committed to providing prompt and helpful support, aiming to ensure users maximize the plugin’s potential. 
Compatibility & Requirements:
WordPress Version: 5.0 or higher (Tested up to 6.9) 
PHP Version: 7.2 or higher (PHP 7.4+ recommended for optimal performance and security) 
Performance Considerations: 
Login Security with Telegram Alerts is designed with performance in mind:
Efficient API Calls: When interacting with external services like Telegram’s API, the plugin uses WordPress’s built-in HTTP API for reliable and performant requests, minimizing impact on page load times. 
Optimized Database Interactions: Designed to minimize database queries and employs best practices for data storage and retrieval, ensuring your site’s database remains lean and responsive. 
Lightweight Codebase: Development emphasizes avoiding bloated scripts and unnecessary assets, ensuring the plugin adds minimal overhead to site resources. 
Security Best Practices: 
Beyond merely claiming to be “secure,” Login Security with Telegram Alerts implements rigorous security measures:
Nonces: All critical actions and forms within the plugin utilize WordPress Nonces to protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. 
Input Sanitization: All user input is rigorously sanitized before processing or storage to prevent malicious code injection, such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. 
Output Escaping: Data displayed on both the frontend and backend is properly escaped to prevent XSS vulnerabilities. 
Capability Checks: Access to plugin functionalities is strictly controlled by checking user capabilities using current_user_can(), preventing unauthorized users from performing actions they are not permitted to. 
Regular Audits: The plugin’s codebase undergoes regular scanning and updates to address emerging security vulnerabilities. 
Internationalization (i18n): 
Login Security with Telegram Alerts is fully internationalized, allowing for seamless translation into any language. All strings are meticulously wrapped in gettext functions, and a dedicated text domain (login-security-with-telegram-alerts) ensures compatibility with WordPress’s robust translation system.

WP Activity Log

The plugin logs just about anything you might need in WP. The free version has enough features to fit the needs for a simple setup where you might want to have basic monitoring on the site. The premium version is excellent with integration options for CloudWatch on AWS which allow for consolidated log management when running the plugin across a number of sites. The dev team is also super helpful and responsive! 

Great plugin and great integrations!

The plugin has been excellent.  It gives us the data we need to track usage.  Even more than that is the phenomenal service they provide. Highly recommended. 

Great Plugin and Support

Thanks, it helps me a lot to track user activity. 

Detail Orientated


If you are willing to pay for the premium version then you have an awesome plugin (probably the best of breed).



BUT the version in the repository lacks even the basic functionality (e.g. search) needed for it to be useful.


Free version is useless

Easy to use


Active support, prompt response time, and attention to detail.



Functionality is great, however, there is an excessive amount of "purchase me" links that clutter the admin menu.


Active support, prompt response time, and attention to detail.


They answered quickly and offered a solution that was directly applicable to my situation.


Prompt, efficient, professional support.


Outstanding plugin with fabulous support. 


Breath of Fresh Air


I work for a marketing company and am in charge of keeping all of our contracted sites up to date, in doing so we also need to track who is doing what, where, and when... this plugin does exactly that.



Futhermore, I had an slight issue today, the support team literally had a fix to me within minutes.  Wish all plugin devs were like you folks :)



Thank you very much!


Excellent Tracking and Support


Really useful solution and great support!


Great solution!


Someone must not have thought the update with the email summaries through, what about people who use this on a global scale. Perhaps 100s of websites all now emailing them ever single week. The feature is nice, the implementation is shockingly short sighted. 


Ill advised update


Because my previous review was removed I am adding this one. You still get one star. Bad decisions guys.


Re-Review


Works pretty well.



It has been a lifesaver when my users accidentally break things. Helped me quickly identify issues and take action. 



Highly recommended for keeping track of changes and maintaining control over your site! Nice you can "hide it" from other users.


Perfect! A Must-Have!

The #1 user-rated activity log plugin for event logging, activity monitoring and change tracking.
