Overview
Web-Art Login Shield with reCAPTCHA is a focused security plugin that protects WordPress authentication, Elementor Login widgets and Elementor Forms against automated attacks.
It strengthens wp-login.php, Elementor Login and Elementor Forms by integrating Google reCAPTCHA v2 verification and optional IP-based rate limiting, without replacing or modifying WordPress core authentication logic.
The plugin is intentionally lightweight and transparent:
– no ads
– no telemetry or analytics sent to the author
– no third-party dashboards provided by the plugin
– no all-in-one security suite overhead
All login protection modules (reCAPTCHA, Login Protect, Advanced login URL) are opt-in and disabled by default.
Additionally, the plugin can apply a small XML-RPC hardening rule…
