Bruteforce protection?

    Hi,

    this plugin is a nice way to quickly deploy some kind of password protection on the site while working on it, good work on that.

    I’ve noticed however, that the plugin doesn not have any kind of brute force protection and doesn’t integrate with say Wordfence’s brute force settings.

    It took me 8 Minutes to BF my password and my server was almost DOS’ed.
    I recommend implementing a max attempt setting (like 10) and then block the IP for 10 Minutes?

    Kind regards
