# Limit Login Attempts for WordPress

## Why Should You Limit Login Attempts in WordPress?

### Protect WordPress Login from Brute Force Attacks
Repeated login attempts slow your site and put accounts at risk. Limit Login Attempts blocks attackers after failed logins to keep your WordPress login secure.

### Lock Out Attackers After Failed Login Attempts
Instead of endless password guessing, WordPress automatically locks users after defined failed login attempts, reducing server load and security risks.

### Automatically Block and Track Suspicious IPs
Every blocked IP is logged so you can see where attacks come from, helping you monitor brute force login attempts without manual checking.

### Whitelist Trusted IPs without Losing Access
Safelist your own or team IPs so legitimate users never get locked out, even when strict login attempt limits are enabled.
