Custom WordPress Login Page Development
Enhance your WordPress website’s security and branding with a custom login page. At CTech Digital, we design and develop fully customized WordPress login pages tailored to your brand identity and security requirements.
Key Features
Removal of Login Reset Options
- Disables the “Lost your password?” option to prevent unauthorized password resets.
- Removes username retrieval features to avoid account enumeration attacks.
- Restricts login access to only pre-approved methods like OTP or manual resets by administrators.
Custom Login URL
- Changes the default
/wp-login.phpand/wp-adminURLs to custom paths, reducing automated bot attacks. - Prevents attackers from discovering the login page through brute-force scripts.
Restricting Login Attempts
- Uses the QuantumCrackTimeEstimator module to estimate the time required for a quantum computer to break a given password.
- Displays results in years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
Disabling XML-RPC Authentication
- Disables
xmlrpc.php, which is a common attack vector for brute-force login attempts. - Allows REST API authentication while blocking direct XML-RPC access.
Custom CAPTCHA or Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Implements reCAPTCHA or other CAPTCHA systems to prevent bot-based login attempts.
- Enforces MFA for all users, requiring an extra authentication step before access.
Hiding Login Errors
- Replaces default WordPress login errors with generic messages to prevent attackers from determining valid usernames or passwords.
- Example: Instead of “Invalid username” or “Incorrect password,” show “Login credentials incorrect.”
Enforcing Strong Password Policies
- Requires users to create complex passwords with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.
- Forces periodic password changes to reduce credential reuse risks.
Restricting Login Access by IP or Country
- Uses
.htaccessrules or firewall settings to allow logins only from specific IP ranges. - Blocks logins from high-risk countries using geolocation filtering.
Two-Step Email Verification for New Logins
- Sends an email with a confirmation link before allowing new device logins.
- Logs all login attempts and sends alerts for unrecognized logins.
Auto-Logout for Inactive Sessions
- Automatically logs out users after a specified period of inactivity.
- Prevents session hijacking from stolen cookies or browser session replay attacks.
Restrict Access to wp-login.php by IP Address
Nginx
- Restrict access to
/wp-login.phpusingallowanddenydirectives.
Fail2Ban
