Enhancing WordPress Security with Simple Login Lockdown
Simple Login Lockdown is a free WordPress plugin designed to protect blogs from brute force login attacks. By tracking failed login attempts, it effectively limits access to the wp-login.php page after a set number of unsuccessful tries, with default settings blocking further attempts for one hour after five failures. This feature helps mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and enhances overall site security.
The plugin provides customizable hooks for advanced users, allowing for IP address alterations, whitelisting, and response code modifications. While it is straightforward in its operation, users behind proxies or load balancers should be aware of potential limitations, as the plugin tracks IPs directly from server data. For those requiring additional control, the plugin offers various filters to tailor its functionality to specific needs.
