Protect your dashboard with a game-changing authorization code. The login form will never be the same again.
What it does
Without locking down access via IP address or file permissions, this plugin creates a secret login authorizaiton code. Those who do not enter this additional authorization will be automatcally redirected to a customizable URL.
This is the first plugin that blocks external bot login requests - login requests must comply with the full login sequence or the request is rejected.
Why it exists
To screw with hackers, brute-force attacks, and bot-nets. Screw with them, too.
NOTE
This does NOT replace the need for security "best practices" such as a strong password or a secure hosting environment. This is an additional layer of security, best combined with a login limiter such as Limit Login Attempts or Login Lockdown.
