Security Hardening Tools Titan includes built-in security hardening options that reduce publicly exposed information and protect your website from common automated attacks. Many bots scan websites looking for version numbers, exposed login patterns, weak passwords, or XML-RPC endpoints. Titan helps minimize those risks with configurable hardening controls that strengthen overall site security. Strong Password Enforcement: Force users to create strong passwords based on the WordPress password strength meter. Weak passwords are a leading cause of account compromise. Enforcing strong credentials significantly improves login security and reduces unauthorized** access risks. Hide Author Login: Attackers can attempt to discover usernames using author archive URLs. Titan prevents user enumeration by restricting access patterns that reveal valid login names. This reduces the effectiveness of targeted brute force login attacks. Disable XML-RPC: XML-RPC can be abused for automated login attacks and pingback spam. Disabling XML-RPC reduces exposure to remote brute force attempts and limits unnecessary resource usage. Hide Version Information: WordPress core and plugins sometimes expose version numbers in the source code. Attackers use this information to target known vulnerabilities. Titan removes version references to reduce fingerprinting risks. Remove Version Query Strings: JavaScript and CSS files often include version query parameters. Removing these prevents attackers from identifying the exact WordPress or plugin version running on your site. Remove Meta Generator Tag: The generator meta tag can reveal your CMS version. Titan removes it to reduce publicly visible system information and lower exposure. Remove HTML Comments: Some themes and plugins output HTML comments that may expose structural details. Titan can remove these comments to limit unnecessary information disclosure. Together, these security hardening options reduce your attack surface and strengthen your website without affecting normal functionality. Activity Monitoring and Logs Security is not only about blocking attacks. It is also about visibility and awareness. Titan includes built-in monitoring tools that help you understand login behavior and security activity on your website. Login Attempts Log: Track failed login attempts in real time. See which IP addresses are attempting access, how many retries were made, and when lockouts were triggered. This helps you evaluate brute force protection effectiveness. Activity Logger: Monitor security-related events across your site, including login activity and system actions. Identify suspicious patterns before they escalate. Error Log Viewer: View plugin-related errors directly from the dashboard. Diagnose configuration issues quickly without accessing server files. Debug Information Export: Export diagnostic information when contacting support. This reduces troubleshooting time and speeds up issue resolution. With proper monitoring and logging, you are not only blocking attacks but also gaining insight into how your website is being targeted. PRO Anti Spam Features Machine Learning spam detection: Advanced spam filtering powered by Machine Learning improves detection accuracy by analyzing behavioral patterns across large datasets. Scan existing comments for spam: Identify previously approved spam comments and clean up your database. Scan registered users for spam accounts: Detect and flag suspicious user accounts that may have been created by spam bots. Enhanced background spam analysis: Apply additional invisible tests that improve spam protection without affecting legitimate visitors. Upgrade to unlock advanced anti-spam capabilities. PRO Two Factor Authentication Two-factor authentication adds an additional verification step beyond a password. Even if a password is compromised, attackers cannot access the account without the second authentication factor. QR Code Setup: Scan a QR code with an authenticator app to activate two-factor authentication quickly and securely. Manual Secret Key Configuration: Set up two-factor authentication manually if QR code scanning is unavailable. Per User 2FA Management: Enable or manage two-factor authentication individually for specific users or roles. Compatible with TOTP Apps: Works with popular authenticator apps such as Google Authenticator and other TOTP-compatible applications. Two-factor authentication significantly strengthens login security for administrators and users. Upgrade to Titan Pro to enable Two Factor Authentication and advanced account protection.

WPBruiser (formerly GoodBye Captcha) is an anti-spam and security plugin based on algorithms that identify spam bots without any annoying and hard to read captcha images. WPBruiser completely eliminates spam-bot signups, spam comments, even brute force attacks, the second you install it on your WordPress website. It is completely invisible to the end-user – no need to ever fill out a Captcha or other “human-detection” field ever again – and it just works! Unlike other anti-spam plugins, which detect spam comments and signups after the fact and move them to your spam folder, which you then have to delete – using up not only your website’s resources, but your time as well, WPBruiser prevents the bots from leaving spam in the first place. The result is that your site is not only spam free, it’s faster and more secure. In addition, WPBruiser is completely self-contained and does not need to connect to any outside service. Your logins remain yours, 100%. WPBruiser fights Brute Force attacks and eliminates spam-bots on comments, signup pages as well as login and password reset pages. At the click of a button, you can decide which forms to protect.
