Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Owl Security

No. The Free build has no license field and does not contact a licensing service.

It does not silently enable optional third-party services. Official WordPress core checksums are requested only as part of an administrator-requested scan. Pwned Passwords, reCAPTCHA, and Turnstile require an administrator to enable or configure the related Free feature. WPScan vulnerability intelligence is available only in the separate Pro build.

Yes. Use the built-in math CAPTCHA and honeypot instead of a third-party CAPTCHA provider.

Only the first five characters of a SHA-1 password hash. The original password and complete hash stay on the WordPress site.

Quarantine is reversible. Eligible files are moved into a protected directory and their original paths are recorded. WordPress core files and Owl Security's own active files are protected from automatic quarantine.

Owl Security creates a protected .sql.gz database-only backup and deletes the temporary raw SQL export. If neither ZipArchive nor zlib is available, backup creation fails clearly instead of retaining a standalone SQL file.

No restore tool is risk-free. Keep an off-site backup and test major restore operations on staging first.

Yes. The Free build is fully functional on its own — web firewall, malware scanner, login protection, two-factor authentication, manual backup and restore, hardening, activity logging, and reports all work without a license and without remote entitlement checks. A separate Pro build adds automation and scheduled or real-time protection.

It's built to stay light. Scans run on demand or in the background rather than blocking page loads, and deep request inspection is optional. The dashboard is designed to be fast and unobtrusive.

No. Every feature is controlled from a single WordPress admin screen with plain-language explanations. Hardening changes are reversible, so you can safely try them and undo any that don't suit your site.
