Overview

Protect WP Login is a powerful WordPress plugin designed to block bots and unauthorized users before they reach your wp-login.php page. By adding an additional layer of basic authentication via .htaccess, this plugin ensures that only users with the correct credentials can proceed to the WordPress login screen. This method minimizes unnecessary database queries and server load, effectively preventing brute force attacks without relying on resource-intensive CAPTCHA solutions.

Key Features:
