Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records 360 Orbit Login Guard version 1.0.18 as active, updated 20d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.

Overview

About this plugin

php.

  • Rate limiting: locks an IP address out after too many failed attempts, for a configurable duration.
  • Login history (7 days): every attempt with a pseudonymous fingerprint instead of the raw IP address, success or failure, and the user name tried (only readable if the account exists).
  • Generic error messages: never reveals whether a user name exists.
  • Safe allowlist behaviour: an IP address from which someone with administrator rights recently signed in successfully is only locked out after ten times the usual number of failed attempts, so a few typos never lock you out.
  • Disable XML-RPC: closes the known bypass of rate limiting via system.multicall.
  • Protection against user name enumeration (?author= parameter and the public REST user list).
  • Hidden trap field in the login form: bots that fill in every field are rejected, whatever the password is.
  • A notice if an account is called admin, administrator or test, because attackers try these names first.
  • Export and import of all settings as JSON, to set up several sites the same way.
  • WP-CLI: inspect the status and unlock IP addresses even when wp-admin itself is unreachable.

Free version vs. Pro

The free version is complete on its own: rate limiting, login history, generic error messages, XML-RPC and enumeration protection, and settings export/import.

Login Guard Pro adds:

  • Two-factor authentication (TOTP) for individual accounts or entire roles, compatible with common authenticator apps.
  • A custom login URL instead of /wp-login.php, with a 404 for the real address.
  • Notification when an account signs in from an unknown device.
  • A fixed allow/block list for IP addresses.
  • Automatic update notifications directly in the WordPress admin.

Login Guard Pro is a separate plugin available from the author; it is not required to use the free version.
