    Hi martychc23,

    Yes, b/c it doesn’t depend on IP addresses, it depends on the fact that bots don’t get the verification cookie and thus get bounced.

    ok, i understand what you’re saying but i’m still unclear as to how this would provide additional protection over restricting login ip to a set ip with htaccess.

    For example, with the following in my htaccess all other ips visiting my login page would get bounced at the server level:

    <Files wp-login.php>
    order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from [moderated]
    </Files>

    So how does this plugin provide additional protection? It’s only the login page the plugin protects right? Sorry if i’m missing something obvious!
