Passwords Evolved vs WPS Limit Login

Important Notice: This plugin is no longer supported on wordpress.org. Please open issues on GitHub. The goal of this plugin is to shore up the WordPress authentication using standard security practice recommendations. At this time, the plugin improves WordPress authentication by doing the following: Enforcing uncompromised passwords This plugin prevents someone from using passwords that have appeared in data breaches. Whenever someone logs into a WordPress site, it’ll verify their password using the Have I been pwned? API. If their password appeared in a data breach, the plugin will prevent them from logging in until they reset their password. By default, this level of enforcement is only done on an account that has the “administrator” role. You can change which roles have their passwords enforced from the settings page. For people that have a role where there’s no password enforcement, the plugin will show a warning when they log in with a compromised password. The enforcement of uncompromised password also extends to when someone resets or changes their password. That said, in those situations, using an uncompromised password is mandatory. Someone will never be able to reset or change their password to one that’s appeared in a security breach. (As long as the plugin is able to contact the API.) Using stronger password hashing The plugin also encrypts passwords using either the bcrypt and Argon2 hashing functions. These are the strongest hashing functions available in PHP. Argon2 is available natively starting with PHP 7.2, but the plugin can also encrypt passwords on older PHP versions using the libsodium compatibility layer introduced in WordPress 5.2. You don’t have to do anything to convert your password hash to a stronger encryption standard. The plugin will take care of converting it the next time that you log in after installing the plugin. If you decide to remove the plugin, your password will continue working and remain encrypted until you reset it. It’s also worth noting that using a stronger hashing function is only important in the advent of a data breach. A stronger password hashing function makes decrypting the passwords from the data breach a lot harder to do. This combined with the enforcement of uncompromised passwords will help ensure that those passwords are never decrypted. (Or at least without significant effort.)

Français Limitez le nombre de tentatives de connexion possibles via la page de connexion et en utilisant les cookies auth. WordPress par défaut permet des tentatives de connexion illimitées soit via la page de connexion ou en envoyant des cookies spéciaux. Cela permet aux mots de passe (ou hashs) d’être craqués via la force brute relativement facilement. WPS Limit login limite les tentatives de connexion et bloque l’envoi d’autres tentatives à une adresse Internet après l’atteinte d’une limite spécifiée, ce qui rend une attaque par force brute difficile, voire impossible. Caractéristiques: Limiter le nombre de nouvelles tentatives lors de la connexion (pour chaque IP). Ceci est entièrement personnalisable. Limitez le nombre de tentatives de connexion en utilisant des cookies d’autorisation de la même manière. Informe l’utilisateur sur les tentatives restantes ou le temps de verrouillage sur la page de connexion. Journalisation et notification par courriel facultative. Gère le serveur derrière le proxy inverse (reverse proxy). Il est possible de mettre en liste blanche / liste noire les adresses IP. Compatibilité avec le pare-feu du site Web Sucuri.

English Limit the number of login attempts that possible both through the normal login as well as using the auth cookies. WordPress by default allows unlimited login attempts either through the login page or by sending special cookies. This allows passwords (or hashes) to be cracked via brute-force relatively easily. WPS Limit login blocks an Internet address from making further attempts after a specified limit on retries has been reached, making a brute-force attack difficult or impossible. Features: Limit the number of retry attempts when logging in (per each IP). This is fully customizable. Limit the number of attempts to log in using authorization cookies in the same way. Informs the user about the remaining retries or lockout time on the login page. Optional logging and optional email notification. Handles server behind the reverse proxy. It is possible to whitelist/blacklist IPs. Sucuri Website Firewall compatibility. XMLRPC gateway protection. Woocommerce login page protection. Multi-site compatibility with extra MU settings.
