Monitoring Failed Login Attempts

Enhance Login Attempts

Enhance record failed login attempts. Imunify360 automatically tracks and blocks IPs after multiple failed attempts. View blocked IPs in Security > Imunify360 > Incidents.

WordPress Login Attempts

Install Wordfence or Limit Login Attempts Reloaded. These plugins block IPs after a configurable number of failed login attempts. You can also move the login URL from /wp-admin to a custom URL — see the guide on changing the WordPress admin URL.

SSH Login Attempts

Check failed SSH logins via terminal:

# On Linux servers\ngrep "Failed password" /var/log/auth.log | tail -20

Imunify360 automatically bans IPs with repeated SSH failures. Switching to key-based authentication eliminates the brute-force risk entirely.
