Numvra Login Attempt Limiter

Counts failed logins and locks out the address that keeps guessing, with a log of what was tried and a longer lockout each time it comes back.

  • Locks an address out after N failures inside a window you choose
  • Each repeat makes the next lockout longer, so a bot gives up before you do
  • A log of every failed attempt: when, from where, and which username was tried
  • Unlock an address in one click when it was you
  • An allowlist, so a mistyped password can never lock you out of your own site
  • Replaces WordPress’s error message, which otherwise confirms that a username exists
  • A successful sign-in clears that address’s record
  • History pruned automatically after the number of days you set

Fully translatable. Translations are handled by translate.wordpress.org,
so no language files ship with the plugin.
