Description

Limit Login Attempts Reloaded stops brute force attacks and optimizes your site performance by limiting the number of login attempts that are possible through the normal login as well as XMLRPC, Woocommerce and custom login pages. This is the only plugin you’ll need for your login security needs with over 2 million downloads worldwide.

This plugin will block an Internet address (IP) and/or username from making further attempts after a specified limit on retries has been reached, making a brute force attack difficult or impossible.

WordPress by default allows unlimited login attempts. This can lead to passwords being easily cracked via brute force.

FAQ

What do I do if all users get blocked?: If you are using contemporary hosting, it’s likely your site uses a proxy domain service like CloudFlare, Sucuri, Nginx, etc. They replace your user’s IP address with their own. If the server where your site runs is not configured properly (this happens a lot) all users will get the same IP address. This also applies to bots and hackers. Therefore, locking one user will lead to locking everybody else out. If the plugin is not using our Cloud App, this can be adjusted using the Trusted IP Origin setting. The cloud service intelligently recognizes the non-standard IP origins and handles them correctly, even if your hosting provider does not.
What settings should I use In the plugin?: The settings are explained within the plugin in great detail. If you are unsure, use the default settings as they are the recommended ones.
Can I share the safelist/blocklist throughout all of my sites?: By default, you will need to copy and paste the lists to each site manually. For the premium service, sites are grouped within the same private cloud account. Each site within that group can be configured if it shares its lockouts and access lists with other group members. The setting is located in the plugin’s interface. The default options are recommended.
Where can I find answers to my Cloud App related questions?: Please follow this link: https://www.limitloginattempts.com/resources/

I setup a basic WordPress website for my nephew using my web hosting service. It’s a one page partially created webpage that was just sitting around for three years unfinished. Last week I started receiving emails that different IP locations were being locked for trying to log into the WordPress admin page. I spoke with my nephew and it wasn’t him. Out of curiosity I logged in. I changed the password to something really strong, added 2FA and increased the time out period & the number of allowable attempts. I then started to receive even more emails by the hour or so about additional login attempts. I then decided to change the admin login url ending in wp-admin to something very unique. I also used my hosting service to password protected access to the new admin login website with a completely new username and password. Therefore, anyone trying to access the WordPress admin login page would first have to gain access to a secondary login screen. I thought that those bots or human hackers will sure get a surprise the next time they try to hack in. The one getting a big surprise was me because I continued to receive emails of brute force login lockout attempts. I uninstalled the Limit Login Attempts Reloaded plugin and used a different WordPress plugin with the same features that contained 2FA. I further removed my host's secondary password protection for the admin WordPress login page and waited. I stopped receiving any login lockout attempt emails. No activity of failed login attempts showed when I logged into WordPress. So now you may be wondering that maybe this just proves that the new plugin isn’t capturing the login lockout attempts. Well, I logged into my webhost and the traffic showed zero. While a can’t with 100% prove that Limit Login Attempts Reloaded is committing fraud, it sure looks like it from my experience. I believe that Limit Login Attempts Reloaded appears to be trying to scare users into upgrading to their paid plan. Others have noted this in this review section only to be quickly dismissed. I hope that somehow I am wrong, because the management of Limit Login Attempts Reloaded should be ashamed of themselves and I hope that others have the time to document and sue this organization.

If it wasn't for this plugin, I would never know that my admin panel is under constant daily attacks.
