WordPress login security with brute force protection, Two-factor authentication (2FA/MFA), firewall, IP/country blocking, and login monitoring
Security History
What It Does
Limit Login Attempts Relloaded locks down the WordPress login screen by throttling repeated failed login attempts and blocking suspicious IP addresses or entire countries. It also adds two-factor authentication, a basic firewall layer, and a dashboard for monitoring login activity on your site. In practice, it reduces brute-force noise in your logs and gives admins a clearer view of who is trying to get in.
Who It's For
This is a strong fit for site owners who want focused login protection without installing a full security suite, especially those running small to mid-sized WordPress sites on shared hosting. It is also well suited to admins who want 2FA without paying for premium add-ons or signing up for a third-party authentication service.
Who Should Skip It
If you already run Wordfence, Really Simple Security, Jetpack Security, or All-In-One Security with login lockout and 2FA enabled, installing this on top will overlap and potentially conflict. Sites that need malware scanning, vulnerability patching, or a managed WAF should pick a broader security platform instead.
The Bottom Line
Limit Login Attempts Reloaded does one job, login hardening, and does it very well with a clean interface, current maintenance, and excellent user ratings. The weak spot is a thin support track record, so if you rarely need help this is a top pick, but power users may prefer the broader ecosystems of Wordfence or Jetpack. Overall, it is a reliable, focused choice for most WordPress sites that just need to stop brute-force attacks and add 2FA.
