Harden WordPress login security with custom slugs, rate limiting, recovery tokens, and Site Health integration.
Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/thisismyurl/thisismyurl-login-support/archive/refs/heads/main.zipLogin Support
Hardens the WordPress login flow with rate limiting, IP lockouts, and an audit log you can read from the admin screen.
What it does
- Caps the number of login attempts per IP before a lockout kicks in. You set the ceiling.
- Gives you an admin screen to see which IPs are locked and release them by hand.
- Keeps a timestamped log of failed and successful logins.
- Clears expired lockout records on a WP-Cron schedule, so the table doesn't grow forever.
What it does not do
It runs entirely on your own site. There's no external service to sign up for, no cloud account, and no telemetry phoning home. Nothing about your login traffic leaves the server.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.4+
- PHP 8.1+
Installation
- Upload the plugin to
/wp-content/plugins/thisismyurl-login-support/. - Activate it through the WordPress Plugins screen.
- Go to Settings > Login Support to set your thresholds.
