Limit Failed Logins avoids brute-force attacks and improves your site speed by lowering the number of login attempts allowed through the primary login and Woocommerce, XMLRPC, and custom login pages. After a set number of retries has been performed, this plugin will prevent an Internet address (IP) and username from making additional attempts, making a brute-force attempt difficult.
