Prevent WordPress Website Hacking

Limit Login Attempts

  • Look if the plugin is compatible
  • Check the rating
  • When is it for the last time updated?

The plugin blocks your account for 20 minutes after 3 false inlog attempts. It's a simple plugin that makes a WordPress site much safer. Hackers work through a "brute force" attack and try to figure out your password. This plugin ensures that your account is temporarily blocked if more than 3 times an incorrect username/password is entered.

An absolute must have when you are not quite sure if your host is giving you the proper security , because it's thousands of times harder to guess your username/password.

You mean user name Admin is known? But they can see your user name Loes also, from comments?

I have admin everywhere, I thought good to have as extra entrance if something is wring with another user.
