Great security for WordPress

Took a website I was working on from 30+ failed login attempts daily, to 0.Can’t really argue with that. I’d say that’s job well done.

It does exactly what it says in the tin

Does the job right and removes the pesky and somewhat useless widgets from the admin dashboard for all users.
