WP Ultimate Security

<h4>WORDPRESS SECURITY PLUGIN — PROTECTION WITHOUT THE COMPLEXITY</h4>
<p>Automated bots probe WordPress logins and forms around the clock. Ultimate Security shuts that down — with two-factor authentication, brute-force lockouts, anti-spam CAPTCHA, a hidden login URL, session controls, and security maintenance tools — all from a clean dashboard you do not need to be a security expert to run.</p>

<h3>📖 Security terms in plain English</h3>
<p>New to WordPress security? Here is what the jargon means and why each one matters.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://docs.wpultimatesecurity.com/docs/login-authentication/email-otp/" rel="nofollow ugc">Two-Factor Authentication</a> (<a href="https://docs.wpultimatesecurity.com/docs/login-authentication/authentication-apps/" rel="nofollow ugc">2FA</a>)</strong> — A second proof of identity (a one-time code) on top of your password, so a stolen password alone cannot log in.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://docs.wpultimatesecurity.com/docs/brute-force-protection/login-attempts/" rel="nofollow ugc">Brute force</a></strong> — Automated tools that guess thousands of password combinations against your login form; lockouts cut them off after a few failures.</li>
<li><strong>CAPTCHA</strong> — A <a href="https://docs.wpultimatesecurity.com/docs/bot-protection/google-recaptcha/" rel="nofollow ugc">small puzzle</a> or <a href="https://docs.wpultimatesecurity.com/docs/bot-protection/cloudflare-turnstile/" rel="nofollow ugc">invisible check</a> that confirms a real human is filling out a form, blocking most spam bots.</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://docs.wpultimatesecurity.com/docs/login-authentication/custom-login-url/" rel="nofollow ugc">Custom login URL</a></strong> — Moving your login page from the well-known <code>/wp-login.php</code> to a secret path so automated scanners cannot find it.</li>
<li><strong>Hardening</strong> — Turning off WordPress features attackers abuse but most sites do not need (file editor, XML-RPC, user enumeration, directory browsing).</li>
<li><strong><a href="https://docs.wpultimatesecurity.com/docs/security-keys/wordpress-security-keys/" rel="nofollow ugc">Salt rotation</a></strong> — Replacing the random secret keys in <code>wp-config.php</code> to invalidate stolen sessions and force re-login everywhere.</li>
<li><strong>Session control</strong> — Limiting how many places one account can be logged in at once and hardening the auth cookie.</li>
<li><strong>Test Mode</strong> — Previewing which requests a new rule would have blocked, before the rule starts blocking anything for real.</li>

Ultimate Security – Login Protection, 2FA, Anti-Spam CAPTCHA, Brute-Force & Security Tools

Block hackers, bots and brute-force attacks with 2FA, CAPTCHA, login protection, session controls, security tools and more.

newwaypmsco

<p>For years, users worldwide have faced security risks due to insecure login pages. WordPress sites are no exception to these challenges. Our plugin provides an innovative solution for login security by integrating facial recognition technology with traditional username and password methods.</p>
<p>Currently, users log in using either a username and password or a Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) method. While 2FA enhances security, it has its own vulnerabilities:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Phishing attacks</strong>: Hackers can deceive users into entering their 2FA codes on fake websites.</li>
<li><strong>Lost or stolen devices</strong>: If the device used to receive 2FA codes (e.g., a mobile phone) is lost or stolen, unauthorized access becomes possible.</li>
<li><strong>SMS-based 2FA</strong>: SMS codes can be intercepted through SIM swapping attacks.</li>
<li><strong>Access issues</strong>: Users may face challenges accessing 2FA codes due to technical issues.</li>
<li><strong>Software flaws</strong>: Authentication apps can have security vulnerabilities.</li>
</ol>
<p>Our plugin addresses these issues by leveraging facial recognition for authentication. When a user attempts to log in, our plugin communicates with a secure Django server for authentication, ensuring no sensitive user data is stored in WordPress databases. The facial recognition system can distinguish between a live user and a static photo, making unauthorized access virtually impossible.</p>
<p>For a complete tutorial on installing and using the plugin, <a href="https://youtu.be/sBdnzxpg0UA" rel="nofollow ugc">watch this video</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Key Features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Facial recognition authentication using a simple webcam.</li>
<li>No storage of user credentials in WordPress databases.</li>
<li>Interaction between the plugin and server is conducted through secure APIs with encrypted data transmission.</li>
<li>Enhanced security with PBKDF2 password hashing (870,000 iterations with salt) on the Django server.</li>
<li>Seamless integration with WordPress login pages, adding an extra layer of security.</li>
<li>Simplified registration process for users to set up facial recognition and credentials.</li>
<li>New <strong>Manage Account</strong> section for users to change their password, update photo, or delete their account, secured with OTP and facial recognition.</li>
<li>Activation email sent during registration, with a 24-hour expiration period.</li>
<li>Each user can only register with a single email address.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Why Choose Our Plugin?</strong></p>
