Readme

Login Shield – WordPress Login Protection

Login Shield is a lightweight security plugin that protects your WordPress login form from brute-force attacks. It limits failed login attempts, blocks offending IPs for a configurable duration, and keeps a detailed log of all login events.

Features

Brute-force protection: limit failed attempts per IP within a sliding time window.
IP lockouts: automatically block IPs that exceed the allowed number of failures.
Whitelist & blacklist: support single IPs, wildcards (192.168.1.*) and CIDR ranges (192.168.1.0/24).
Custom lockout message: display your own message on the login form when an IP is blocked.
Event logs: track failed, locked and successful login attempts from a single dashboard.
Admin dashboard: summary cards show failed attempts, lockouts and currently blocked IPs.
