<p>Did you ever feel like your website or blog login page is ridiculously fragile and reachable, and could be easily broken in by an intruder?</p>
<p>Personally I hate to think of hundreds of people playing with my door lock hundreds of times a day. It’s the same with my blog login page.</p>
<p>On WordPress, there are two main potential vectors of bruteforce intrusion:<br />
*  http://my-site.com/wp-login.php, which is the login page<br />
*  http://my-site.com/xmlrpc.php, which is an API gateway for interacting with third party applications.</p>
<p>This plugin adds one security layer in front of your login page, and by the way you can also disable XML-RPC with a simple checkbox if you don’t need it (XML-RPC is a <em><strong>WIDELY</strong></em> used vector of attacks).</p>
<p>The idea is simple: you choose a pair of words, and when you want to access your login page, you just have to provide them in the URL like this: http://my-site.com/wp-login.php?word1=word2. That’s all!<br />
If you try to access your login page without this pair of words, you get a configurable error message, where you can insult the attacker as much as you want 😉</p>
