Description

In one click, your WordPress login page will be pretected with the smart brute force attack protection! Any login attempts more than 6 in 10 minutes (default value) will be limited.

Limit the number of login attempts through both the login and the auth cookies.

Two-factor Authentication login.
Text SMS message passcode for 2nd step verification support.
Cloudflare Turnstile (better than Google reCAPTCHA).
GeoLocation (Continent/Country/City) or IP range to limit login attempts.
Passwordless login link.
Support Whitelist and Blacklist.
GDPR compliant. With this feature turned on, all logged IPs get obfuscated (md5-hashed).
WooCommerce Login supported.
XMLRPC gateway protection.

API

Call the function $link = function_exists( 'dologin_gen_link' ) ? dologin_gen_link( 'your plugin name or tag' ) : ''; to generate one passwordless login link for the current user.
Call the function $link = function_exists( 'dologin_gen_link' ) ? dologin_gen_link( 'note/tip for this generation', $user_id ) : ''; to generate a passwordless login link for the user which ID is $user_id.

The generated one-time used link will be expired after 7 days.

Define const SILENCE_INSTALL to avoid redirecting to setting page after installtion.

CLI

List all passwordless links: wp dologin list
Generate a passwordless link for one username (for the login name root): wp dologin gen root
Delete a passwordless link w/ the ID in list (for the record w/ ID 5): wp dologin del 5

How GeoLocation works

When visitors hit the login page, this plugin will lookup the Geolocation info from API, compare the Geolocation setting (if has) with the whitelist/blacklist to decide if allow login attempts.

Privacy

The online IP lookup service is provided by https://www.doapi.us. The provider’s privacy policy is https://www.doapi.us/privacy.

Based on the original code from Limit Login Attemps plugin and Limit Login Attemps Reloaded plugin.

this plugin works very well

The Verify 2FA options and the SMS Auth have stopped working, that’s why I only give it two stars. I wait for a solution or if not I do not recommend anyone to install the plugin.

Passwordless login link option is simply amazing. Love this plugin.

This is a lightweight plugin that should be first on your list. One request tho: would be nice to see a distinction made between successful logins, and unsuccessful logins and blocked logins.
