Loginizer is a WordPress security plugin designed to protect websites from brute-force attacks by enhancing the login process. With Loginizer, administrators can enforce stronger password requirements, limit login attempts, and blacklist suspicious IP addresses. The plugin monitors login activity and automatically blocks IP addresses that exceed a specified number of failed login attempts, thereby safeguarding the website from unauthorized access. Additionally, Loginizer provides email notifications to website owners, informing them about successful logins and failed login attempts. It is a valuable tool for reinforcing WordPress site security and mitigating potential login vulnerabilities.
Loginizer Max Login Attempts is a feature of the Loginizer WordPress plugin that allows website administrators to set a maximum limit on the number of login attempts from a specific IP address. By defining this limit, administrators can effectively combat brute-force attacks, where automated bots attempt to guess login credentials by repeatedly trying different combinations. Once the maximum number of login attempts is reached, Loginizer automatically blocks the IP address, preventing further login attempts from that source. This feature acts as an additional layer of security, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and protecting WordPress websites from malicious login activities.
The blocked IP can be removed in the WordPress dashboard. If you're unable to access the dashboard, this block can be removed using phpMyAdmin. This guide will cover both options.
