    Hi,
    I have quick question that my web site is getting lot of brute force attacks. Now I decided to replace the wp-login.php with custom login page. In the cutom login page I used WordPress social login option such login with facebook, google, yahoo, windows. Now my question with this new modifications can I stop the brute force attacks or do I need to block some other settings.

    Thanks,
    Hari

    Brute force attacks are a fact of life. Because so many computers around the world have been compromised, these ‘zombie’ computers are out there going after one site after another.

    If you limit the amount of people who can login, then you could use some code in your .htaccess file to only allow use of wp-login.php from a certian IP
