This free plugin does much more than its title implies. Brute force protection, reCaptcha for login/registration, prevent directory browsing... the author has added way too many security features to list in my review. Great support. I consider this an essential plugin for my website. Five stars definitely!

very good plugin, keep it up and update thanks

Works perfectly for me

Robin Sep 9, 2018
Yes the plugin asks for it to be registered. So, I registered. I got an email with a one time Passcode. I entered it - ready to go. I added some IP addressees to the blacklist. I renamed wp-login.php. Job done. It works. Not a single failed login-attempt since I installed the plugin.

Unable to use this plugin without registration. You should mention it in description. I have to give one star to this app, because that's not a fair play.

Awesome Support

danwolfe Feb 2, 2018
Really needed a feature added which it turns out the author was already working on, and gave me a copy of it. Works great! It now ties in with another plugin I made for clients, and redirects after the limit is reached.
