Thirteen security modules. One lightweight plugin. No premium tier.
Login Armor protects WordPress login, accounts and administration with thirteen independent modules. It is built for agencies, freelancers and site owners who want practical security, clear evidence and safe defaults without a remote dashboard, bundled telemetry or upsells.
Why Login Armor
- Complete and free: every module is included under the GPL.
- Lightweight: modules load only when needed and normal login checks add less than 2 ms on a typical setup.
- Private by default: data stays on your site. Optional external calls are disabled until you enable the related feature.
- Ready for real sites: multisite support, reverse-proxy controls, WP-CLI commands and production-safe defaults.
Thirteen security modules
- Hide Login: replace
wp-login.phpwith a private slug and return a 404 or redirect blocked visitors to a chosen URL. - Brute Force Protection: escalating lockouts, subnet blocking, trusted proxy headers and coverage for login, password recovery, registration, XML-RPC and REST users.
- Hardening: sixteen controls for XML-RPC, pingbacks, file editing, version exposure, application passwords, author enumeration, reserved usernames, honeypots, new-admin alerts and forcing HTTPS.
- Two-Factor Authentication: TOTP, email codes, backup codes, trusted devices, per-role enforcement, grace periods and recovery.
- Detection and Incidents: group raw events into attack patterns with severity, timelines, source IPs, targeted users and one-click actions.
- Activity Log: tamper-evident admin audit trail with filters, CSV export, retention controls and optional signed SIEM forwarding.
- Security Headers: CSP, X-Frame-Options, Permissions-Policy, Referrer-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options for login and lockout pages, with optional site-wide baseline headers.
- Breach Check: privacy-preserving Have I Been Pwned password checks and an optional XposedOrNot email check.
- Password Policy: length and character rules, username exclusion, breached-password rejection and optional non-locking expiration reminders.
- Session Management: idle timeout, maximum lifetime, optional single-device access and one-click revocation of other sessions.
- IP Geolocation: cached country lookup for IPs shown in Incidents and Events, with private ranges excluded.
- Request Firewall: optional, monitor-first filtering of malicious paths, query strings and HTTP methods, with administrator exclusions and IP/path allowlists.
- Bot Challenge: an invisible proof-of-work the browser solves before the login form is accepted, an alternative to CAPTCHAs with no external service; monitor-first, then enforce.
Additional tools
Login Armor also includes guided onboarding, a 0-100 security score, conflict detection, email/Slack/Discord/webhook notifications, an optional weekly or monthly security digest, nine Tools > Site Health tests with a support panel, a dashboard widget and a complete WP-CLI suite. A safe mode constant in wp-config.php stands down every protection that could lock an administrator out, without changing a single setting.
The guided safe baseline turns on brute-force protection, attack detection, login-page security headers, the activity log, the seven safest hardening toggles, and the request firewall and bot challenge in monitor mode, where they record without blocking anything. Hide Login and two-factor stay off so you enable them deliberately. After seven days of monitoring, Login Armor reads your own traffic and tells you whether the firewall and the bot challenge can safely start blocking.
The optional AI Security Briefing uses your own WordPress AI connector to explain a thirty-day security snapshot or a single incident. It always starts with deterministic facts, works without AI and sends nothing until an administrator explicitly requests an analysis.

- Gestion des sessions : dĂ©lai d’inactivitĂ©, durĂ©e maximale, accĂšs limitĂ© Ă un appareil et rĂ©vocation des autres sessions.
- GĂ©olocalisation IP : pays des IP affichĂ©es dans Incidents et ĂvĂ©nements, avec cache et exclusion des plages privĂ©es.
- Pare-feu de requĂȘtes : filtrage optionnel, d’abord en surveillance, des chemins, requĂȘtes et mĂ©thodes HTTP malveillants, avec exclusion des administrateurs et listes d’autorisation IP/chemins.
- DĂ©fi anti-bot : une preuve de calcul invisible rĂ©solue par le navigateur avant validation du formulaire de connexion, alternative aux CAPTCHA sans service externe ; d’abord en surveillance, puis en blocage.
Outils complémentaires
Login Armor inclut aussi un assistant de configuration, un score de sécurité de 0 à 100, la détection de conflits, les notifications par e-mail, Slack, Discord ou webhook, un widget de tableau de bord et une suite WP-CLI complÚte.
La base sĂ»re guidĂ©e active la protection contre la force brute, la dĂ©tection d’attaques, les en-tĂȘtes de sĂ©curitĂ© de la page de connexion, le journal d’activitĂ©, les sept rĂ©glages de renforcement les plus sĂ»rs, ainsi que le pare-feu de requĂȘtes et le dĂ©fi anti-bot en mode surveillance, oĂč ils enregistrent sans rien bloquer. Hide Login et la double authentification restent dĂ©sactivĂ©s pour que vous les activiez dĂ©libĂ©rĂ©ment. Au bout de sept jours de surveillance, Login Armor lit votre trafic rĂ©el et vous dit si le pare-feu et le dĂ©fi anti-bot peuvent passer au blocage sans risque.
Le briefing de sĂ©curitĂ© IA optionnel utilise votre propre connecteur IA WordPress pour expliquer les trente derniers jours ou un incident prĂ©cis. Il commence toujours par des faits dĂ©terministes, fonctionne sans IA et n’envoie rien tant qu’un administrateur ne demande pas explicitement une analyse.

External Services
Login Armor has no telemetry and requires no Login Armor account. The following services are contacted only when WordPress itself or an administrator enables the related feature.
WordPress AI connector (optional)
The AI Security Briefing sends a security prompt through the administrator’s own WordPress AI connector only after they click an analysis button. Minimised mode sends counts, categories, severities and role buckets without clear IP addresses or usernames. Explicit deep mode also sends IP addresses and event details. Login Armor stores no provider API key. The selected AI provider’s terms and privacy policy apply.
Slack, Discord or custom webhook (optional)
When an administrator enables an incident notification channel, Login Armor sends the incident type, severity, IP address, target username, event count and site URL to the configured endpoint. The separate signed Activity Log forwarding option sends the event, object, user ID/login/role, IP address, description, integrity hashes, site URL and plugin version to the administrator’s SIEM or custom webhook.
- Slack: Terms | Privacy
- Discord: Terms | Privacy
- Custom webhook: terms and privacy are controlled by the administrator’s chosen endpoint.
Gravatar
The Activity Log uses WordPress core’s get_avatar(). If avatars are enabled in WordPress, a hashed email address may be sent to Gravatar to retrieve the image.
Have I Been Pwned (optional)
Breach Check and the optional compromised-password policy send only the first 5 characters of a password’s SHA-1 hash to the Pwned Passwords API. The password and full hash never leave the site. Checks fail soft if the service is unavailable. Public registration and password-reset validation do not call the service; authenticated checks remain active.
- Have I Been Pwned: Privacy | Acceptable Use
XposedOrNot (optional)
The separate Email check, disabled by default, sends the user’s email address and a plugin-identifying User-Agent to XposedOrNot when a user is created or changes email.
ipwho.is (optional)
IP Geolocation sends public IP addresses recorded in the login log or in an incident to ipwho.is, in a background task: at most 20 addresses every five minutes, and no request is made while an admin page is being rendered. There is no request at all for five minutes after an API failure, and the free tier of the API allows 1000 requests a day per site, after which it asks for a pause that the plugin honours. Results are cached for 30 days, and so is an answer that carries no country. The cache also keeps the AS number and the operator name, and the lookup identifies the network behind the use of an application password. Private and reserved ranges are never sent, and developers can replace the lookup through the login_armor_geoip_lookup filter. The compromise: the background task is a WordPress scheduled event, so on a site where WP-Cron is disabled and no system cron calls wp-cron.php, the country badges stay empty.
