WordPress login with Firebase JWT: WordPress login with Firebase JWT allows you to create a user login session on a WordPress site using their Firebase JWT token, eliminating the need to enter their login credentials again. This is highly recommended when there are multiple websites/applications and the user is already logged in to any of them.

Out of the box, WordPress allows unlimited attempts to log in. This opens up opportunities for attackers to crack passwords simply by trying over and over again. This kind of attack is called brute-force, and Protect Login mitigates this by slowing down the login after a series of subsequent failed attempts. But we did not stop there. We’re also working on ways to improve the security of your WordPress passwords. Currently, we do this by allowing you to enforce a password policy to make sure your users don’t use weak passwords for their accounts.
