Enhancing WordPress Security with Limit Login Attempts
Limit Login Attempts Spam Protection is a free WordPress plugin designed to enhance security by limiting login attempts. It effectively mitigates the risk of brute-force attacks by restricting the number of retries allowed for logging in via both the standard login page and auth cookies. Users can configure lockout timings and receive email notifications detailing blocked attempts, ensuring that they stay informed about any unauthorized access attempts. The plugin also provides options to notify users about remaining login attempts and offers comprehensive reports on blocked attempts, along with the ability to whitelist or block specific IPs and countries.
Key features include automatic blocking of IP addresses that exceed the login attempt limits, detailed email notifications for admins, and easy unlocking of locked users via email or dashboard. The plugin is compatible with popular security tools like Wordfence and Sucuri, and it supports CAPTCHA systems for further protection. Additionally, the advanced PRO version includes features such as saving hacker passwords and a mobile application for site security management, making it a robust choice for WordPress users looking to enhance their site's security.
