The free edition comes packed with several security measure features to protect your WordPress login, including: Password policies for all your users Limit login attempts Change login URL GDPR login page notification The premium edition adds features such as: Login times restrictions Inactive users policies IP restrictions Geo-blocking One-click integration with WooCommerce, Memberpress, LearnDash, and others and much more!

The free edition includes all basic features without any restrictions to help you improve your WordPress login security. The premium edition adds several features over and above what is available in the free edition, enabling you to improve your WordPress login security even further.

Support for the Free edition of the plugin is provided only via the WordPress.org support forums. You can also refer to our support pages for all the technical and product documentation. If you are using the Premium edition, you get direct access to our support team via one-to-one email support.

Melapress Login Security secures different aspects of the WordPress login process to increase the overall security of your site. Depending on which edition you get and which policies you activate, the plugin is flexible enough to enable you to be as restrictive as you like. While the plugin is extensive, it is not a silver bullet, and you should still take other security measures, such as enabling two factor authentication.

Brute force attacks rely on unlimited login attempts to try as many username and password combinations as possible until they hit the right combination. By limiting login attempts, you effectively stop brute force attacks by removing the one thing they rely on to breach your login page.

Changing the login page URL is a security technique known as security-by-obscurity. Its entire premise is to make resources harder to find - but not impossible. This means that changing the wp-admin page URL can be an effective strategy when combined with other techniques such as using strong passwords and two factor authentication.

Melapress Login Security is actively supported and receives regular updates. Refer to the plugin changelog for more information about past updates.

You can uninstall Melapress Login Security just as easily as you would with any other plugin. Simply login to your WP admin dashboard, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, locate Melapress Login Security, and then click on Deactivate and then Uninstall. To remove all settings, navigate to Login Security > Settings and enable the Delete database data upon uninstall setting before deactivating and uninstalling the plugin.

The free edition does not send any data whatsoever. The premium edition, on the other hand, only sends licensing data to our server. All WordPress login security settings remain in your WordPress database. Furthermore, the plugin does not collect any user data.
