Login IP Restriction
-
Hello, if i have restricted login to a certain ip in htaccess will this plugin still be of any benefit?

Hi martychc23,
Yes, b/c it doesn’t depend on IP addresses, it depends on the fact that bots don’t get the verification cookie and thus get bounced.

ok, i understand what you’re saying but i’m still unclear as to how this would provide additional protection over restricting login ip to a set ip with htaccess.
For example, with the following in my htaccess all other ips visiting my login page would get bounced at the server level:
<Files wp-login.php>
order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from [moderated]
</Files>So how does this plugin provide additional protection? It’s only the login page the plugin protects right? Sorry if i’m missing something obvious!
