Description

The Limit Login Attempts addon blocks successive failed login attempts on LoginPress, recording the attacker’s IP and locking access after a configurable number of failures. It works as an extra layer of protection against brute force attacks, adding to the LoginPress dashboard controls for block duration, list of banned IPs, and email notifications whenever a limit is reached.

Key Features

  • Automatic IP blocking
    Locks the address after a configurable number of failed login attempts.
  • Customizable limits
    Sets how many failures are tolerated before the block and how long it lasts.
  • Attempt logging
    Keeps a log of failed attempts with IP, date, and attempted username.
  • Banned IP list
    Lets you review, release, or block addresses manually from the LoginPress dashboard.
  • Email notifications
    Alerts the administrator when an IP or user exceeds the established limit.

Benefits of Limit Login Attempts

  • Brute force defense
    Drastically reduces the chance of intrusion through exhaustive password guessing.
  • Less server load
    Cuts off repeated malicious requests that overload the authentication process.
  • Attack visibility
    Identifies attempt patterns and recurring origins for more informed preventive actions.
  • Granular admin control
    Adjusts the blocking policy according to the site’s profile and the audience logging in.

Who Is It For?

  • WordPress site administrators concerned about login screen security.
  • Stores, member areas, and portals with multiple registered users.
  • Agencies that deliver sites hardened against automated bot attacks.

As a complementary layer to LoginPress, Limit Login Attempts closes a critical intrusion vector by enforcing strict limits on how many times the same IP can try to authenticate before being blocked. The combination of detailed logs, configurable banning, and email alerts turns the login screen into a monitored and resilient point, especially useful on sites exposed to bots and automated credential stuffing attempts.
