Overview
This WordPress plugin blocks, by default, login attempts for the “admin” user. Because bots and hackers use automated login attempts on WordPress websites, specifically using the “admin” username, it’s a good practice to never use this username. This plugin will block all login attempts that try to use this username.
Features
- Block “admin” user only
- Block every user, but the usernames in your website.
- Choose the URL you want to blocked users to be redirected to. We will Rickroll them by default. Of course.
