TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

Fail2WP is for WordPress site administrators who want to harden login and account security, with optional integration into fail2ban. It reduces brute-force and enumeration risks by restricting login methods, validating usernames and IPs, and limiting exposed information via REST API, feeds, and error messages.
