Hello,
Does the plugin works fine with Wordfence deactivated ?
What are your wordfence settings for login ?

Login Options:
Force admins and publishers to use strong passwords (recommended)
Lock out after how many login failures – 9
Lock out after how many forgot password attempts – 9
Count failures over what time period – 5 minutes
Amount of time a user is locked out – 1 hour
Immediately lock out invalid usernames – (unchecked)
Don’t let WordPress reveal valid users in login errors – checked
Prevent users registering ‘admin’ username if it doesn’t exist – checked
Prevent discovery of usernames through ‘?/author=N’ scans – checked
@remy Perona: If this problem was solved, could you maybe share what the culprit was? Or should those two plugins better not be used together?
Hello,
In this case it seems it was a problem with Varnish.
Wordfence and WPS Hide Login should work well together, I have this setup on my own website without issue.
Thanks for the quick clarification, much appreciated!

It’s an old topic but I will redact all of the login asks.
@tabrisrp I’ve deleted your offer to login to your user’s site. I’m am 100% sure you mean well but please never ask for credentials on these forums.

Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.
If something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided without warranty.
Please be aware that repeatedly asking for credentials will result in us asking you to repeatedly stop before escalating up to the plugins team.
