Plugin Description
Protect WP Login is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to block bots and unauthorized users before they even reach your wp-login.php page. By adding an additional layer of basic authentication via .htaccess, this plugin ensures that only users with the correct credentials can proceed to the WordPress login screen. This method minimizes unnecessary database queries and server load, effectively preventing brute force attacks without relying on resource-intensive CAPTCHA solutions.
Key Features:
– Protects the wp-login.php page with server-level authentication.
– Prevents unauthorized access to the WordPress dashboard.
– Reduces server load by denying access before reaching the WordPress login form.
– Compatible with most hosting environments supporting .htaccess files.
How It Works:
When a user attempts to access the wp-login.php page, the sever intercepts the request and prompts for a username and password managed by the plugin. If the credentials are correct, the user is allowed to proceed to the WordPress login page. If not, access is denied and reducing server load.
