Login Lockdown! Keep Wordpress Safe.

Michael VanDeMar of Bad Neighborhood blog brings us a new plugin to keep our hackers from login into word press. Login Lockdown will monitor how many times a person tries to log in during a short period of time (say 5 times in 3 minutes). If they exceed some key number, LogInLock down will lock them out from logging for some period of time; the default is one hour. Times and number of tries are adjustable.

Because I write a one person blog and rarely travel, I’m going to continue to protect by limiting access to those using my ISP using .htaccess. But I’ll be testing out the Log In Lock Down in parallel.
