Description
Limit the number of login attempts that possible both through the normal login as well as using the auth cookies.
WordPress by default allows unlimited login attempts either through the login page or by sending special cookies. This allows passwords (or hashes) to be cracked via brute-force relatively easily.
Limit Login Attempts Reloaded blocks an Internet address from making further attempts after a specified limit on retries has been reached, making a brute-force attack difficult or impossible.
Features:
Limit the number of retry attempts when logging in (per each IP). This is fully customizable.
Limit the number of attempts to log in using authorization cookies in the same way.
Informs the user about the remaining retries or lockout time on the login page.
Optional logging and optional email notification.
Handles server behind the reverse proxy.
It is possible to whitelist IPs using a filter. But you probably shouldn’t do this.
All your settings will be kept in tact!
