Login Attempt Limiter
Limit failed WordPress login attempts per IP address using transients to reduce brute-force attacks.
Overview
SPP Login Attempt Limiter is a critical security utility designed to protect WordPress websites from automated brute-force attacks and unauthorized credential guessing. Because the default WordPress configuration allows users to attempt to log in an infinite number of times, malicious bots can run through thousands of compromised password combinations unchecked, eventually gaining unauthorized access and consuming valuable server resources. This plugin solves the problem by actively monitoring the gateway to your administrative backend. By tracking failed authentication attempts associated with specific IP addresses and enforcing temporary lockouts when threshold limits are breached, the utility establishes an active defense system that neutralizes automated attacks and secures your administration screen.
