Description

Login LockDown records the IP address and timestamp of every failed login attempt. If more than a
certain number of attempts are detected within a short period of time from the same
IP range, then the login function is disabled for all requests from that range.
This helps to prevent brute force password discovery. Currently the plugin defaults
to a 1 hour lock out of an IP block after 3 failed login attempts within 5 minutes. This can be modified
via the Options panel. Administrators can release locked out IP ranges manually from the panel.

Installation

Extract the zip file into your plugins directory into its own folder.
Activate the plugin in the Plugin options.
Customize the settings from the Options panel, if desired.

Enjoy.

Thank you for this perfect plugin. You wouldn't believe how many login attempts you can get even on a brand new website w/o any external links so far. This is one of the plugins, I install everywhere.

I like this plugin and use it on a number of websites I am a webmaster for. In case it helps, here are some thoughts on how/why I have configured the plugin. I leave the first 3 entries as default (3,5,60). They seem ideal to me. I set Lockout Invalid Usernames? to YES. If they don't know the Username, why are they trying to login? I am careful, so I won't lock myself out. I set Mask Login Errors? to YES. Denies useful intelligence to people who are trying to login when they shouldn't. Why help them? I set Show Credit Link? to NO. I love helping people - and as it happens it's my professional work - however telling people about the plugin so they can protect their blogs also tells people who are trying to login when they shouldn't what security I am using. This is a more minor point, however it also falls under the 'need to know policy' - they don't.

This plugin does nothing, it doesn't protect the site, it just adds its links to footer automatically - VERY BAD, DON'T INSTALL!

I generally don't have issues with this plugin and I assume it's working well to protect my site from hackers. The only issue I have is that time to time it locks me out although I KNOW for a fact that I haven't attempted to login unsuccessfully several times.
