WPS Limit Login: Breakdown
The WPS Limit Login plugin is designed to help protect WordPress websites from malicious attacks and other unauthorized activity. It works by setting a limit on the number of logins a user can attempt before they are blocked. If the limit is exceeded, the user is blocked for a predetermined period of time. This helps protect the website from brute force or denial of service attacks.
The plugin also provides an administrator with the ability to determine the limit of logins allowed per user. This can help protect against individual users trying to guess passwords or launch dictionary attacks on the website. The plugin also provides the administrator with the ability to blacklist certain IP addresses, ensuring they are not able to access the website.
The plugin also provides an administrator with the ability to track login attempts, view a log of failed logins and reset failed login attempts. This can help detect suspicious activity and suspicious IP addresses, allowing for further investigation or action to be taken as needed.
Lastly, the plugin also includes a feature that allows the administrator to customize the response page when a user exceeds the login limit. This helps ensure the website’s security and helps to prevent phishing attacks by adding an extra layer of authentication.
