Brute Force Prevention with custom login form not working consistently

    Hi there,

    I am trying to create a site with a secured member section. Members will need to sign in to view this section. I am also using the AIOWPS plugin with this site, but without any caching plugins.

    I coded the login form myself using wp_login_form(). Everything works fine except when I enable the Cookie Based Brute Force Prevention feature.

    My login form is set to domain.com/login (without the secret code) because I understand that AIOWPS has something which prevents visitors from needing the secret word in order to sign in. However, when I attempted to sign in again after enabling, the feature appears to sometimes work (i.e. I can view the secured section) and sometimes doesn’t (i.e. leading to https://127.0.0.1). I tested using multiple devices, both desktop and mobile.

    Any advise on why this is happening? I am new at this, so any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you so much!

    Regards,
    stham

    Hi, have you tried the other Brute Force method “Enable Rename Login Page Feature:”?

    In some cases the cookie base method does not work well with certain server configurations.

    No, I had not thought of that. But I’ve tried it now and it works perfectly!

    Thank you so much!
