Limit Login Attempts Reloaded – Login Security, Brute Force Protection, Firewall

Description

Limit Login Attempts Reloaded functions as a robust deterrent against brute force attacks, bolstering your website's security measures and optimizing its performance. It achieves this by restricting the number of login attempts allowed. This applies not only to the standard login method, but also to XMLRPC, WooCommerce, and custom login pages.

The plugin functions by automatically preventing further attempts from a particular Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or username once a predetermined limit of retries has been surpassed. This significantly weakens the effectiveness of brute force attacks on your website.

By default, WordPress permits an unlimited number of login attempts, posing a vulnerability where passwords can be easily deciphered through brute force methods.

Upgrade to Limit Login Attempts Reloaded Premium to extend cloud-based protection to the plugin, thereby enhancing your login security. The premium version includes features such as IP intelligence to detect, counter and deny malicious login attempts.

FAQ

If you are using contemporary hosting, it’s likely your site uses a proxy domain service like CloudFlare, Sucuri, Nginx, etc. They replace your user’s IP address with their own. If your server is not configured properly, all users will get the same IP address. This also applies to bots and hackers. Therefore, locking one user will lead to locking everybody else out. In the free version of the plugin, this can be adjusted using the Trusted IP Origin setting. In the premium version, the cloud service intelligently recognizes the non-standard IP origins and handles them correctly, even if your hosting provider does not.
