 * Hi,
 * I was wondering if I need any other security plugin in addition to Bulletproof
   that would work well together without any issues
    I already have Limit Login 
   Attempts, would I need anything else? I’m not very keen on having too many plugins
   though
 * thanks !

 * I can’t recommend any other Security plugins because I only use BPS, but I am
   pretty sure that BPS is compatible with all other security plugins. You should
   always check a plugin’s Forum area to see what others are saying about a plugin
   before installing it. And of course you would want to install the plugin on a
   Test site/Crash Dummy site before installing it on a Live Production site.

 * Actually I do use the SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam plugin and it is not only an Anti-
   Spam plugin – it is actually a security plugin as well.

 * Even without recommending any in particular… is it necessary to have something
   else or does Bulletproof covers pretty much everything?

 * Here is the problem with recommending other security plugins. I see some very
   good ideas that are implemented very poorly (even if it is only a small portion
   of the coding in a plugin and the rest of the code is fine). So for that reason
   I will not mention or recommend them. 😉
 * You should install a Login protection plugin.
    You should install SI CAPTCHA 
   Anti-Spam. You should have a backup plugin installed for disaster recovery. Like
   I said I see some really good ideas in other security plugins, but I am a coder
   so I always look at a plugin’s code first. 😉

 * I do have Limit Login Attempts already but I don’t have comments on my site, 
   so anti-spam is not really necessary . Also have a backup plugin

 * Do you have a CAPTCHA for your Login page? SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam allows you to
   add a CAPTCHA to your Login page. 😉
 * A CAPTCHA is a deterrent, but if you are already limiting login attempts then
   yep you can skip this deterrent.

 * well, nobody can register on my site and comments are off so I wouldn’t really
   need a Captcha plugin

 * Yep then the only thing you would have to worry about regarding your Login is
   Brute Force Password Cracking. Your login protection plugin should take care 
   of that so yeah you can live without a CAPTCHA on your Login page. A CAPTCHA 
   will slow down automated Bot Brute Force Password Cracking programs, but a Login
   protection plugin also blocks automated Bot and human login attempts. 😉
