## Description

HSArticle Login Math Verification protects your WordPress login page from bots and
brute-force attacks using a simple math question. No Google reCAPTCHA, no Cloudflare,
no API keys required.

#### Features

 * Math captcha (e.g. “8 + 5 = ?”) on the login page
 * Secure answer stored as WordPress transient (no PHP sessions)
 * Beautiful light and dark-themed login page design
 * Customizable accent color with live preview
 * Enable/disable toggle from admin settings
 * Login attempt stats (passed vs. blocked) in the admin dashboard
 * Lightweight — no external scripts loaded on the front end

## Installation

 1. Upload the `hsarticle-login-math-verification` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu in WordPress
 3. Go to **Settings  Login Math Verification** to configure

## FAQ

### Does this require any API keys?

No. Everything runs on your WordPress server using PHP and WordPress transients.

### Will this slow down my site?

No. The plugin only loads on the login page and admin settings page.

### What if the captcha expires?

Each captcha token is valid for 10 minutes. If it expires, the user just needs to
refresh the login page.

### What happens when I uninstall the plugin?

All plugin settings and captcha transients are automatically cleaned from your database
when you delete the plugin via the WordPress admin.
