Protect Your WP Blog from Password Hackers
One of the most popular passwords hacking method is Trial & error. The first method which comes into hackers mind is this. That’s the reason banking applications uses a security breach to block the account if a user fails for 3 or 5 times. How to implement this in your WordPress blog? Here comes the plugin into picture to help you out…
login LockDown is the plugin which can Do this task for you. It records the IP of the user and records the number of failed login attempts. It will block the IP when specified condition meets, like 3 attempts in 5 or 10 minutes. You can release the blocked IP’s later manually.
Login LockDown records the IP address and timestamp of every failed login attempt. If more than a certain number of attempts are detected within a short period of time from the same IP range, then the login function is disabled for all requests from that range. This helps to prevent brute force password discovery. Currently the plugin defaults to a 1 hour lock out of an IP block after 3 failed login attempts within 5 minutes. This can be modified via the Options panel. Administrators can release locked out IP ranges manually from the panel.
Installation:
- Download Login LockDown
- Extract the zip File into your plugins directory
- Activate the plugin
- Customize the settings from the Options panel
