 * Greetings Rob,
 * Thanks for creating and maintaing this wonderful plugin. I just used it on my
   test site and amazed to see the login attempts and those blocked by plugin with
   community feature on.
 * I have a question regarding the other security plugins that I use and what settings
   should I keep on your plugin that does not conflict with the existing plugin.
 * **Plugin 1:** Headers Security Advanced & HSTS WP: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/headers-security-advanced-hsts-wp/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/headers-security-advanced-hsts-wp/)
 * **Plugin 2:** BBQ Firewall – Fast & Powerful Firewall Security : [https://wordpress.org/plugins/block-bad-queries/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/block-bad-queries/)
 * **Plugin 3:** Blackhole for Bad Bots : [https://wordpress.org/plugins/blackhole-bad-bots/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/blackhole-bad-bots/)
 * **Question 1: **Because Apocalypse Meow has it’s own spam protection, so in that
   case should I keep BBQ Firewall and Blackhole for Bad Bots active or should I
   remove it.
 * **Question 2:** As I am using Headers Security Advanced & HSTS WP plugin. It’s
   just plug and play and I don’t need to make any changes in User Enumeration, 
   Core & Template Overrides and Request Header Settings.
 * Please help me in making these decisions as I am not very tech savvy.
 * I also want to know why you have kept such a low visibility of this plugin, with
   such awesome features this could be the one of the top security plugins on WordPress
   Store.
 * I saw this plugin when I was searching for the keyword **MEOW**. You might have
   some sentimental value for this keyword, but I think that might be keeping this
   plugin visibility under the cloud.
 * **This is just a suggestion **
    1. That you launch a parallel version of the plugin with a new name like login **
       FortiLogin, LockGuard WP, SecurePass WP, LoginShield, BruteBlocker, WP Access
       Guard, SafeLogin, VaultLogin Pro, Login Fortress, ShieldMyLogin, LockDownWP,
       GateKeeper WP, SecureEntry, Login Defender, StealthLogin**. I am not sure if
       there are plugins with similar name by I suggest you should give it try.
    2. That logo 🙁 – Please use one of thousand AI’s to generate a bright and beautiful
       logo. That logo doesn’t boosts anyone’s confidence.
    3. Future Features – 2 Factor Authentication / Captcha – Are you planning to implement
       that in future releases or I should use third party plugins for that.
 * I am sorry for this long post, but I said what I thought of. Hope you don’t mind.
 * Regards
 * Vinay

 * Hi [@the8055](https://wordpress.org/support/users/the8055/)
 * There doesn’t seem to be much overlap between Apocalypse Meow and those other
   plugins, beyond the three options in the Request Headers section. Just disable
   anything in there that the Headers plugin is handling separately, or vice-versa.
 * Neither 2FA nor CAPTCHAs are planned features for Apocalypse Meow.
 * The current WordPress flow isn’t well-suited to secondary challenges (like 2FA).
   It is possible to bolt extra steps onto the process anyway, but the resulting
   code complexity is high enough to risk introducing all sorts of new and terrible
   security vulnerabilities by mistake. Haha.
 * CAPTCHAs, on the other hand, are easy to add, but don’t provide any particular
   benefit in this context. The “login nonce” feature already blocks submissions
   bypassing the `wp-login.php` landing, and the fail-counting limit quickly puts
   a stop to any brute-force nonsense.
