WP Login Lockdown is free. At one point it did its work discreetly.
It now auto installs a huge widget in the admin dashboard. In the back it covers the entire interface with huge ads. Almost all of the functionality is now pro and is front row and center, with an interface so covered in pro functions it’s impossible use the free plugin.
Frankly this kind of simple functionality should not require a pro plugin at all.
A sad example of the slow degradation of the wonderful WordPress developer community into adware and bloatware.
Should mark WP Login Lockdown two stars really, but will leave it at three stars as it could be useful if way trimmed back again.

This plugin works wonders to protect your WordPress website from brute force attacks. It literally saved my servers where before implementing I had high CPU and memory usage and after installing it cut CPU use by up to 100% and memory by 50%.
It’s not perfect and still has some areas to improve (reporting & unblocking are two) but the core functionality works really really well.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The plugin looks promising, but things have started that aren’t quite finished…
1) Captcha – It doesn’t show captcha at “lost password”, “woocommerce product comment”, probably somewhere else and no option to enable or simple to show everywhere.. It shows only at login form..
2) 2FA – Two Factor Authentication. There is only email 2FA.. this plugin did not offer the option with “2FA code generating apps such as Google Authenticator, Authy”.. which is very sad..
I always use 2FA code generating apps for everything, and I will never use 2FA email authentication by choice!
It seems that the author is working on too many projects and this particular one doesn’t have too much time to make the plugin really great!
These are the reasons why I don’t use this plugin, if they improve it with this and more other functions, I will give it a chance and install it again.
Currently only 3 stars!?★★★??

After I installed the plugin, I started getting login attempts by the user “Unknown” (on the 3 sites I installed), detected by Wordfence. This is why I changed the login path through the plugin, so in theory, only they could know the login address.

Thus far, I am very happy with the pro version of Login Lockdown. It is not flawless, but the developers are responsive, and they are improving and updating the software regularly. Worth the money for pro!

Removed the ability for an admin to unlock in the latest update! It is extortion to sneak this in and for a payment o get an account unlocked. We will be removing from all 300+ sites!

Plugin makes your website really safer. Easy to setup and many options.
Edit: They fixed the bug! ?? back to 5 stars!!!
————————————————-
Old review: If you login and forget to fillout the recaptcha or fill it out wrongly it will log you as “failed” attempt and show your password in the log list. This way every admin that can see the settings will know your password.
There is no need to show the failed login attempt password. Please remove this terrible function. Big data leak. 1 star until they fix this.

Nice plugin that adds protection against brute-force login attempts.

I can’t believe after many many years of use I have not said thank you. I really appreciate this plugin.
I recommended this recently to a friend who was delighted there was no advertising and upsell. Indeed! Great to know there are still some who go to the effort of sharing and updating because it’s a nice thing to do.

This is brilliant. It’s a must have for websites that attract a lot of traffic and which therefore will attract a lot of forced login attempts.
]]>Rating: 5 stars
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!
]]>Rating: 5 stars
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.

This works great as an added layer of login security. Fully functional with the latest version of WordPress at the time of writing (4.9.5).

Can’t manage header like X-Forwarded-Host. So every WP host behind a reverse-proxy will consider all login error commin from the proxy and locked every user from every source. So 2000 …

Not good… not good at all. I installed this plug in yesterday and today I am locked out. I deleted the plugin and I’m still locked out. Not a plug in for newbies, that’s for sure. I don’t know how to get back in my site.

Works great out of the box, doesn’t rely on any services, doesn’t ask for money, has useful options. What’s not to like.

this plugin works like a charm to simply lockdown a wordpress site, without all the complication of other security plugins. Does 1 thing and does it well ??
