Login Security
Block unauthorized access to your WordPress admin area with multiple layers of protection. Custom login URL, IP restrictions, brute force protection, reCAPTCHA, and email OTP keep your admin area secure.
Attacks on WordPress Logins Happen Every Day
WordPress admin areas are accessible by default at fixed URLs like /wp-admin/ and /wp-login.php, making them prime targets for attackers. Automated bots attack 24/7 with password list and brute force attacks that can break weak authentication in minutes.

5 Protection Layers for Your Admin Area
Attackers must break through 5 security layers before reaching the login screen.
Login
Attacker
IP Restriction
As the first layer of protection, block access from unauthorized IP addresses. Allow access only from trusted locations like your office or home to significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
Custom Login URL
Change the default WordPress login URL (/wp-login.php) to a custom URL. This makes it difficult for attackers to find the login page and helps avoid automated attacks.
Basic Auth
Require additional server-level authentication. Before reaching the WordPress login screen, a separate username and password is required, providing dual-layer protection.
reCAPTCHA
Integrate Google reCAPTCHA to automatically distinguish humans from bots. Protect your site from automated brute force and credential stuffing attacks.
Email OTP
Add two-factor authentication with a one-time password sent via email at login. Even if a password is compromised, login is impossible without email access.
Additional Security Features
Brute Force Protection
Automatically lock out IPs after a set number of failed login attempts. Customize the failure threshold and lockout duration.
Login History
Record all login attempts. View IP addresses, timestamps, and success/failure reasons to detect suspicious activity.
Threat Intelligence
Real-time matching against known malicious IPs. Control access with permanent ban lists and allow lists to prevent attacks proactively.
