It actively combats brute-force attacks, enhances user authentication with multi-factor options, and provides real-time alerts directly to your Telegram. Scalable for any site size, from personal blogs to large enterprises, it ensures your WordPress site remains secure and you’re always in the loop. Key Features: Login Security with Telegram Alerts is packed with powerful features designed to give you peace of mind and full control over your site’s access. * **Brute-Force Protection:** Automatically blocks suspicious IP addresses after a configurable number of failed login attempts, effectively preventing dictionary attacks and credential stuffing. * **Real-time Telegram Notifications:** Receive instant alerts for failed login attempts and successful logins, delivered directly to your chosen Telegram channel, group, or private chat. This provides immediate awareness of critical site events, enabling prompt action. * **Cloudflare Turnstile (Anti-Bot):** Protect your login form from bots and automated brute-force attacks using a privacy-friendly, invisible alternative to reCAPTCHA. * **New Device Login Alerts:** Get instant email and Telegram notifications when a user logs in from an unrecognized device or browser. * **API Protection:** Easily disable XML-RPC and restrict the WordPress REST API to logged-in users only, closing common vulnerabilities. * **Comprehensive Activity Logging:** Maintains detailed records of both failed and successful login events, capturing critical information such as IP addresses, usernames, login times, and user agents. This log is invaluable for auditing and identifying suspicious patterns. * **IP Management:** Block or unblock IP addresses directly from the Activity Log with one-click actions. Administrators can manually manage IP blacklists and whitelists from the plugin’s settings page. * **WordPress Core Files Integrity Check:** Verify that WordPress core files haven’t been tampered with by comparing them against official checksums from WordPress. org. * **File Permissions Management:** Automatically check and fix file permissions to match WordPress security standards, ensuring your installation follows best practices. * **Custom Admin URL:** Hide your wp-admin login URL by creating a custom access point, adding an extra layer of security by obscurity. * **Geolocation Integration:** Includes location data in Telegram notifications, adding crucial context to security alerts and aiding in the investigation of suspicious activities. * **Optional Email Two-Factor Authentication:** Site administrators can enable an opt-in extra login step; users who choose to turn it on for their own account will be emailed a one-time verification code (delivered as a polished HTML email) each time they log in. * **User-Friendly Admin Interface:** An intuitive, tabbed settings page contributes to a clean and easy-to-use experience.
