   This is a clever plugin. I wasn't sure what it did at first, but it's pretty simple. What this plugin does is bypass the default Login button. You must drag or create a sort of 'dongle' bookmark to replace the default Login button per the instructions after you activate the plugin.

   So once you've filled out your username, password, captcha if applicable, you must use the 'dongle' instead of the Login button to login. Otherwise you get the warning message you set up.

   So not only does someone need the 'dongle', they also need the Response to the Challenge.

   Cool idea.

   makes sense, since nobody but the admin need know the login page to begin with.

   But i'm already using a strong password from

   So not too worried. Also i have that limit login plugin that will lock people out after 4-5 incorrect tries. If i see someone with the same ip constantly doing that, i'd just add their ip to my banlist :X

   I agree with MickeyRoush. I very liked this plugin.

   I think I must be an idiot! I understand the dongle. What I'm trying to do is put a login button on a sidebar, and then give my editors a dongle so they can easily signin and write articles, post events, etc.

   When I activated the plugin, I set my dongle to something really easy. and here's where I lost the plot.

   I didn't change my admin password, so that should be fine. I then logged OUT of my weblog and tried to sign back in. I was presented with the WP login screen. I entered my userid/passcode, and got my login-dongle smarty pants response, "do I know you?"

   So, I've deleted the plugin. It's too scary for someone who doesn't understand it. I would love to implement it, if anyone was willing to walk me through the process after installation and addition of my personal dongle to my profile. I have no clue what comes after that. Magic?

   Thank you,
   Kittie Rue

   Do you have a plan to add a translation file? It would be great.

   I didn't until a moment ago... I'll look into it soon. Thanks for the suggestion.

   I published the new version (1.4.1) with support for translations. I already added Spanish (and English is the base). I hope people know how to add new ones. I'll be pleased to add them in future updates.

   Just wanted to drop by and say the plugin's awesome! Just what I was looking for. Even though I changed my default WP username, and I'm using login lockout plugins, still I got rather annoying attempts at unauthorized logins.

   And "Login Dongle" is a perfect solution agains that, simple and highly effective. I love how it does not change the default login form, and the addition of making your customized error message - including html code, which gives you many possibilities with how to treat people who try unauthorized logins: you can show them an images, redirect them wherever you want, etc.

   Brilliant! And thank you for creating this thingy, Andrea!
