Limit Attempts
Protect WordPress website against brute force attacks. Limit rate of login attempts.
Interesting to see where the potential hackers come from, and if it is an automated system. Use this with whatismyip and you can track the ISP.
Limit Attempts plugin is a security solution for WordPress which protects your website from spam and brute-force attacks. Limit the number of failed login attempts per user and block user IP for a certain period of time based on your settings. This will stop automated scripts to gеnеrаtе a lаrgе numbеr оf different combinations and hack your website.
Manage deny and allow lists, receive email notifications, hide website forms for blocked or added to the deny list IPs, and other advanced features which guarantee safety of your data.

BestWebSoft is always the perfect solution for you. Just check out what other people are saying about us!
thank you for this fine working plugin!
Tutto perfetto, evita che vi siano ripetuti tentativi di login. Molto configurabile, invia notifiche.
Install this plug-in now, don't wait until after you are hacked like I did!!!
My logs show that for one website, some brute-force attacks tried over 35 login requests per minute from multiple IP addresses over a 6 month period. They got in eventually and it took me over a week to resolve the issue.
This plug would have prevented that and does protect my site(s) now.
I can also check the IP address of the logs and add them to the Clocked-IP (blacklist) manually.
