Description
Login Ninja is a WordPress security plugin that hardens both login and register pages against automated abuse. It adds CAPTCHA protection to the forms to help stop bots from logging in or creating accounts. The plugin monitors login attempts and automatically bans suspicious IPs associated with brute-force activity. It also records detailed login-related events so you can review what happened and when. With a native WordPress GUI, setup is straightforward in your dashboard, and email notifications keep you informed about important login activity.
