Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Janric Shield

No — during Learning mode it only observes. During Advisory mode it scores but never blocks. Blocking only activates in Active mode, and only when you explicitly enable it. There is always a manual override switch in the admin dashboard.

Advisory mode activates after 20 successful logins over at least 7 days. Active mode becomes available after 50 successful logins over 14 days. A confidence indicator in the dashboard shows your current progress.

No. Password managers auto-fill without firing keydown events, producing a keystroke CV of zero. Janric Shield explicitly detects this pattern — zero keystroke variance combined with mouse or touch interaction — and treats it as a password manager fill, not a bot. No penalty is applied.

Yes, and that is the intended behaviour. A login from a country you have never used before is a genuine anomaly worth flagging. In Learning or Advisory mode it is just recorded. In Active mode with a moderate threshold it would be challenged, not blocked outright. You can log in normally and the challenge takes only a few seconds.

Yes. The JavaScript capture layer detects both mouse events (desktop) and touch events (mobile), combining them so that a tap on the login button correctly registers as human interaction.

Yes. By default XML-RPC is monitored but not blocked — all calls are logged and scored. If you do not use the WordPress mobile app or Jetpack you can disable XML-RPC entirely from the Hardening panel in the dashboard.

No. This version operates entirely locally. Each install builds and uses its own independent baseline. There is no federated network or central reporting in this release.

PHP 7.4 or higher. The plugin includes polyfills for str_contains(), str_starts_with(), and str_ends_with() which are native only in PHP 8.0+.
