Best WordPress Login Security Plugins for Safe WordPress Login

by Faizan Fahim | Last updated Nov 25, 2019 | WordPress

Best WordPress Login Security Plugins for Safe WordPress Login

WordPress Login Security is the first step towards overall WordPress security.

In this post, I am going to mention best four login security plugins.

WordPress Login Security Plugins

  • Google Authenticator
  • Limit Login Attempt Reloaded
  • WP Security Question
  • WPS Hide Login

These four Plugins will make sure your WordPress Login Page is under complete protection. Google Authenticator adds a personal touch to login, while Limit Login reduce the number of the failed logins. With WP Security Plugins, you can add a question, and WPS Hide Plugin change the /wp-admin to any term you want.

After securing the Login Page, you should also secure your c-panel.

Google Authenticator – WordPress Two Factor Authentication (2FA)

WordPress Login Authenticator

Two Factor Authentication is the best Login Security tool for WordPress sites.

It adds an extra layer of security that only genuine users could pass.

Quick Tips

What is Two Factor Authentication?

TFA provides an extra layer of security that ensures that the person who is trying to log in is precisely the person who is supposed to know that Username and Password.

After entering the Username and Password, users usually log in. In TFA, instead of gaining access, the person has to provide another piece of information.

This information is more secure, as it could only belong to that person.

  • Information: PIN, Password, Security Question
  • Object: Card, Token, Slip
  • Personal: Touch, Retina, Voice

TFA made the account more secure by adding a unique individual touch.

nminiOrange is the publisher of this Plugin. The free version offers TFA for one user, free for lifetime.

Methods for Authentication:

  • Last Pass Authenticator
  • Security Questions
  • Push Notification
  • OTP over Email, SMS
  • QR Code
  • Soft Token

Features of Google Authenticator Plugin:

  • Custom Security Questions
  • Language Translation Support
  • Brute Force protection
  • IP Blocking
  • User login Monitoring

This Plugin makes sure that only you get access to the Admin area of the WordPress site.

Important in situations like these:

  • Doing login on public network
  • Many users managing your site
  • You manage your site while travelling
  • Your site is doing good business

Limit Login Attempt Reloaded

Limit Logins Attempt | WordPress Login Security plugins

As the name suggests, this Plugin limits the number of failed login attempts.

By default, WordPress allows countless incorrect logins. This feature of WordPress is celebrated by hackers while making Brute Force attacks.

Hackers try to login with permutation and combination of words. It all works on automation. So, it is only a matter of time that the logarithm will find out the correct username-password.

Unless you block the IP after several failed attempts. That’s where Limit Login Plugin comes handy.

You decide the number of failed attempt a person could enjoy before losing access to the Login page.

Features of Limit Login Attempts Reloaded:

  • Limit the number of Login Attempt
  • Inform the User about remaining Retries
  • Sucuri Website Firewall compatibility
  • WooCommerce Login page protection
  • XMLRPC gateway protection
  • GDPR Compliant

It is a light-weight, and simple WordPress Login Security Plugin, that can protect your site from Automated Brute Force attacks.

WP Security Question

WP Security Plugins

It is another small yet helpful plugin. 

WP Security Question adds a question at the Login Page. 

Along with username and password, the User is required to answer the Security Question.

In case of user forgetting the password, this plugin helps in recovering of the account.

Features of WP Security Question:

  • Multiple Security Questions
  • Show security question always/randomly/one-time
  • Show Answer Hint
  • Make Security Answer required

Many users are habitual weak password creators. WP Security Question can improve login security for their accounts.

Then some people tend to forget their password. They can get access to their account fast with the Security Question.

WPS Hide Login

WP Hide Plugin
The best practice of secure login is to hide your login page.

That is changing your login URL.

Default login URL looks like this:

www.example.com/wp-admin 

But you can change the wp-admin suffix with the WPS Hide Login. It does not change the core files or rewrite rules. It only intercepts page request.

This small Plugin gives you a significant advantage against beginner hackers or bot Dictionary attacks because these attacks are targeted for the login page.

By hiding your login page, you make it difficult for hackers to find a passsageway to your blog.

Conclusion

You can install any of the mentioned plugins.

But remember, these Plugins are only effective against the bots. It will not be difficult for a smart hacker to find your login URL.

WordPress Login Security should be a part of your WordPress security plan. You should not rely solely on them for WordPress security. They are only your first line of defence.

Quick Tips

You Hosting play a major role in your site security. If the site is on Magento, or WordPress or any other CMS, without secure Hosting, all the efforts falls down.
