Un plugin perfecto, cumple con lo necesario para dar una capa de seguridad a Wordpress.
Limita el login, tiene lista blanca, un log de actividades de inicio de sesión y
Captcha v2 y un par de simples configuraciones extras de seguridad.

### 󠀁[Amazing plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-plugin-2114/)󠁿

I started using this plugin a few weeks ago, cause I realized that my site is been
under attack. It really helped me, getting a bit more calm about this condition,
while giving me a nice overview about the logins and the tries. What I like most,
is the amazingly easy setup. What I missed in the beginning was a more in deep documentation
about how the features do their work in the background. But this isn’t an issue 
if you can ask the developer and he’s responding at once. Thanks for that amazing
and free plugin. I can only recommend having a look at this, if one cares about 
security.

Works really well and seems much more efficient than other plugins I tried. The 
feature I like most is getting notified when someone logs in to my account from 
a new device. I would like to be able to modify the email message that gets sent
out though – not sure if that is possible?

Just started using and was surprised of the number of bots attacking my site – seemingly
every hour there was a different attack. It was good to be able to know this was
happening and get some level of protection up quickly. Would recommend as the first
line of defense.
