Protect WP Login

Add an extra layer of security to your WordPress login page

See plugin on WordPress Download Español

Key Features

  1. Protects WP-Login.php with server-level authentication.
  2. Prevents unauthorized access to the WordPress dashboard.
  3. Reduces server load by denying access before reaching the WordPress login form.
  4. Compatible with most hosting environments that support .htaccess files.

How It Works

When a user attempts to access the wp-login.php page, the sever intercepts the request and prompts for a username and password managed by the plugin. If the credentials are correct, the user is allowed to proceed to the WordPress login page. If not, access is denied and reducing server load.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/protect-wp-login directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the "Plugins" menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to the "Protect WP Login" menu in the admin panel to configure the plugin.

The Protect WP Login plugin uses basic authentication via .htaccess to protect the login process at the server level. This happens before the WordPress login page is displayed, blocking unauthorized users and reducing the load on WordPress and the database.
