<li>Two Factor Auth via App – The user can configure the account with a 2FA App like Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.</li>
<li>Login Challenge Question – The user can setup a Challenge Question and Answer as an additional security layer. After Login, the user will need to answer the question to complete the login.</li>

<li>Rename Login Page – The Admin can rename the login URL (slug) to something different from wp-login.php to prevent automated brute force attacks.</li>
<li>Rename WP-Admin URL – The Admin area in WordPress is accessed via wp-admin. With loginizer you can change it to anything e.g. site-admin</li>
<li>CSRF Protection – This helps in preventing CSRF attacks as it updates the admin URL with a session string which makes it difficult and nearly impossible for the attacker to predict the URL.</li>
<li>Rename Login with Secrecy – If set, then all Login URL’s will still point to wp-login.php and users will have to access the New Login Slug by typing it in the browser.</li>
<li>Disable XML-RPC – An option to simply disable XML-RPC in WordPress. Most of the WordPress users don’t need XML-RPC and can disable it to prevent automated brute force attacks.</li>
<li>Rename XML-RPC – The Admin can rename the XML-RPC to something different from xmlrpc.php to prevent automated brute force attacks.</li>
<li>Username Auto Blacklist – Attackers generally use common usernames like admin, administrator, or variations of your domain name / business name. You can specify such username here and Loginizer will auto-blacklist the IP Address(s) of clients who try to use such username(s).</li>
<li>New Registration Domain Blacklist – If you would like to ban new registrations from a particular domain, you can use this utility to do so.</li>
<li>Change the Admin Username – The Admin can rename the admin username to something more difficult.</li>
<li>Auto Blacklist IPs – IPs will be auto blacklisted, if certain usernames saved by the Admin are used to login by malicious bots / users.</li>
<li>Disable Pingbacks – Simple way to disable PingBacks.</li>
<li>SSO – Single Sign-on, let any user access to your WordPress Dashboard without the need to share username or password.</li>
<li>Limit Concurrent Logins – It prevents user to login from different devices concurrently, you can define how many devices you want to allow, and how you want to restrict the user when concurrent limit is reached.</li>
<li>Social Login – Users can login or register with their Google, Github, Facebook, X (Twitter), Discord, Twitch, LinkedIn, Microsoft with support for WooCommerce and Ultimate Member.</li>
