what’s up I think it’s the fifth episode Thursday so yeah it’s a fifth episode of this
this is WordPress plugins I was going to do 2 today and I was like why would I do that when I can just tell you about one that’s awesome not really is as in terms of like features and is like amazing features it just something for your users or people that signed up to your blog this is only for you if you like allow people to register this isn’t always like buddypress where it’s like that intense would like the profiles is for anyone who uses the little login portal your website domain / wp-admin this is for you so the WordPress plugin is called login lockdown if you’ve been on if you’ve ever been on any one of my websites all my websites are powered by WordPress so you probably seen it if you’ve logged into it using the portal I called it supported cuz it sounds more official an awesome the duck portal the log in uniform and it’ll say you know powered by login lockdown login lockdowns basically it makes everything secure
is everything secure in the terms of you know even if it’s like hacked it still encrypted information it’s still on a secure server just think if you could type your password and username and put put an HTTP before you did that it’s kind of like that cuz if it’s hacked or it’s being like hacked in the process of you putting your information like most of the internet does they use the same password and username for everything your kind of screwed if that were to get out or you know just with the username password you can get an email you a lot further That’s What actors do very violent violent thanks login lockdown basically prevents 98% of those things from happening even if it’s just like one little hack and not like hacking the entire website is acting like a certain part where you’re supposed to help reduce that it’s not a 100% but it’s the best of its kind to help WordPress play WordPress sites if you go to my website
I’m just go to like Frosty.com Frosty.com WP hyphen admin and you’ll see Power bi login lockdown just make sure you’re signed out and then you’ll be able to see it awesome and wonderful so I will see you guys tomorrow with the sixth video and on Sunday returning with some awesome videos I know these weeks of these weeks of videos haven’t been at the greatest but I’ve tried it extremely hard as you can tell and I will see you guys tomorrow and everyday subsequently for the next for a long time for a really long time

a must have for high volume websites This is brilliant. It’s a must have for websites that attract a lot of traffic and which therefore will attract a lot of forced login attempts.
Useful security plug I like this plugin and use it on a number of websites I am a webmaster for.
In case it helps, here are some thoughts on how/why I have configured the plugin.
I leave the first 3 entries as default (3,5,60). They seem ideal to me.
I set Lockout Invalid Usernames? to YES. If they don’t know the Username, why are they trying to login? I am careful, so I won’t lock myself out.
I set Mask Login Errors? to YES. Denies useful intelligence to people who are trying to login when they shouldn’t. Why help them?
I set Show Credit Link? to NO. I love helping people – and as it happens it’s my professional work – however telling people about the plugin so they can protect their blogs also tells people who are trying to login when they shouldn’t what security I am using. This is a more minor point, however it also falls under the ‘need to know policy’ – they don’t.
Just the kind of WP plugin we need more of! I can’t believe after many many years of use I have not said thank you. I really appreciate this plugin.
I recommended this recently to a friend who was delighted there was no advertising and upsell. Indeed! Great to know there are still some who go to the effort of sharing and updating because it’s a nice thing to do.
4.9.8 it don’t work I just installed one a fresh WordPress 4.9.8-en_FR and the plugin doesn’t work …
Works well I generally don’t have issues with this plugin and I assume it’s working well to protect my site from hackers.
The only issue I have is that time to time it locks me out although I KNOW for a fact that I haven’t attempted to login unsuccessfully several times.
Great little plugin Thanks, been working away in background for ages.
Simple but effective Excellent plugin simple setup *****
Works great! Thank you for this perfect plugin.
You wouldn’t believe how many login attempts you can get even on a brand new website w/o any external links so far.
This is one of the plugins, I install everywhere.
Excellent, lightweight security plugin This works great as an added layer of login security. Fully functional with the latest version of WordPress at the time of writing (4.9.5).
MALWARE ADDS LINKS DOES NOTHING – DON’T INSTALL This plugin does nothing, it doesn’t protect the site, it just adds its links to footer automatically – VERY BAD, DON’T INSTALL!
