# Stop bots from hammering your login page

Limit failed logins, hide the default login URL, and add 2FA so stolen passwords and credential stuffing are much harder to abuse.

## Limit failed login attempts

Attackers try thousands of passwords. Pro login protection slows them down with configurable limits and clear messaging for blocked attempts.

- Cut off repeated failures
- Customize messages visitors see
- Still works when Cloud Firewall is turned off in settings

## Rename the login URL

Everyone knows /wp-login.php. A custom slug means casual bots stop finding the door, while you and your team still log in normally.

- Hide the default login path
- Preview the URL admins will use
- Secret access URL helps if you lock yourself out

## Add two-factor authentication

Even a strong password can leak. Require authenticator apps or email codes for the roles that matter, with opt-in and grace period options.

- Role-required or opt-in enrollment
- App and/or email verification
- Grace period for calm rollout

## FAQ

### Is login protection free?

Failed-login limits, rename login, and 2FA are Pro. Free still logs login successes and failures in the basic Events Logger and includes password-related security tests.

### Will rename login break my site?

It changes where you sign in. Use the preview, bookmark the new URL, and keep the secret access option in mind for recovery.
