Out of the box, WordPress allows unlimited attempts to log in. This opens up opportunities for attackers to crack passwords simply by trying over and over again. This kind of attack is called brute-force, and Protect Login mitigates this by slowing down the login after a series of subsequent failed attempts.
But we did not stop there. We’re also working on ways to improve the security of your WordPress passwords. Currently, we do this by allowing you to enforce a password policy to make sure your users don’t use weak passwords for their accounts.

Protect Login

Add an additional layer of protection to your WordPress login and make sure bad actors have a hard time guessing your user's login credentials.

Limit the number of login attempts that possible both through the normal login as well as using the auth cookies. 
WordPress by default allows unlimited login attempts either through the login page or by sending special cookies. This allows passwords (or hashes) to be cracked via brute-force relatively easily. 
Limit Login Attempts Reloaded blocks an Internet address from making further attempts after a specified limit on retries has been reached, making a brute-force attack difficult or impossible.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Limit the number of retry attempts when logging in (per each IP). This is fully customizable.</li>
<li>Limit the number of attempts to log in using authorization cookies in the same way.</li>
<li>Informs the user about the remaining retries or lockout time on the login page.</li>
<li>Optional logging and optional email notification.</li>
<li>Handles server behind the reverse proxy.</li>
<li>It is possible to whitelist IPs using a filter. But you probably shouldn’t do this.</li>
</ul>
All your settings will be kept in tact!
