This short Loginizer tutorial shows you how to shut down brute-force attacks on your WordPress login before they ever get lucky. Bots scan the whole web for WordPress sites and hammer login pages with password after password, day and night. In under ten minutes you'll turn that open door into a locked one.
What you'll learn
By default WordPress lets anyone guess your password as many times as they like, and unlimited guesses are exactly what an automated attacker needs. The Loginizer WordPress plugin closes that gap by limiting failed attempts and locking out the machines that keep trying. After this course you'll understand why login security matters, know your way around Loginizer's screens, and be able to set sensible brute-force protection that runs quietly in the background. It's the kind of small change that protects a site for years.
