WP Login Lockdown PRO

WP Login Lockdown PRO costs $89 once for 1 site.

Yes, if your login page sees a steady stream of attacks, or if many people log in, as on membership sites, shops or client sites you manage. Updates and support are lifetime, and besides lifetime the vendor only sells a monthly plan, so for a plugin that guards your login for years, the one-time payment is the calmer choice.

Note the tiers: the single site license costs almost as much as the one for 5 sites, so if you run more than one site, the larger tier is the better buy. Agencies can cover up to 100 sites. It pays off less if you already use a full security plugin that protects the login too.

Login Lockdown is a free plugin on wordpress.org with 100,000+ active installs, around since 2008. It counts failed logins and locks out the IP address after too many attempts. For a small site with one admin, that basic brute force protection is often enough.

WP Login Lockdown PRO brings layers that stop more than simple guessing. Captcha and two factor authentication block bots and stolen passwords, country blocking keeps out regions you never serve, and a cloud blacklist blocks known attackers before they try. Temporary access links let support staff in without sharing a password, and a log shows every attempt.

Login protection is not a tool you switch off after a while. It has to run as long as the site is online. A monthly plan turns that into a cost that never ends. WebFactory offers a one-time license with lifetime updates and support as the alternative, sold directly on its own site.

Updates matter for a security plugin: attack patterns change, and captcha and two factor methods need to keep working with new versions of WordPress. With a lifetime license, those updates keep coming without a renewal.

You install the plugin from your account and activate the license. Set the lockout rules and switch on captcha and two factor authentication for admins. Then watch the log for a few days to see which attempts get blocked and adjust the rules. The refund window is short at 7 days, so test it right after buying.
