Add an additional layer of protection to your WordPress login and make sure bad actors have a hard time guessing your user's login credentials.
As of April 2026, Protect Login is a WordPress login plugin with 600 active installations and a 5/5 rating from 2 reviews. It has been downloaded 20K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 5.7+ and PHP 7.4+. Available on WordPress.org since 2024. Top alternative: WPS Hide Login.
Out of the box, WordPress allows unlimited attempts to log in. This opens up opportunities for attackers to crack passwords simply by trying over and over again. This kind of attack is called brute-force, and Protect Login mitigates this by slowing down the login after a series of subsequent failed attempts.
But we did not stop there. We’re also working on ways to improve the security of your WordPress passwords. Currently, we do this by allowing you to enforce a password policy to make sure your users don’t use weak passwords for their accounts.
