LOGIN SECURITY FEATURE SUITE

Protect against brute-force attacks and keep bots at bay. All-In-One Security takes WordPress’ default login security features to a whole new level.

• Supports best practice: All-In-One Security detects if an account has the default ‘admin’ username or if a user has identical login and display names, prompting the user to change this in support of better security practices.
• Hide login page from bots: Configure a custom URL for the WordPress ‘Admin’ login page, making it harder for bots to find.
• Change default wp_ prefix: Hackers use automated code to attack websites like yours. Make life harder for them and protect your site with this simple but effective AIOS security feature.
• Login lockout: External users making multiple login attempts can be locked out for a configured period of time. You can also lockout users with invalid usernames. See a list of all locked out users and unlock with one click.
• Reporting: All-In-One Security provides a wealth of information about website users. View activity by username, IP address, login and logout dates and times. See a list of users currently logged in, and a list of all failed login attempts.
• Force logouts: Ensure users don’t stay logged in indefinitely. With All-In-One Security you can force logouts for all users after a configurable amount of time.
• Robot verification: For additional security and to prevent spam registrations, implement Cloudflare Turnstile, Google reCAPTCHA, plain maths CAPTCHA or a honeypot to registration pages, or enable manual approval of user accounts instead.
• Stops user enumeration: Prevent external users and bots from fetching user information via author permalink.
• Two-factor authentication: All-In-One Security TFA supports Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy and many more.
• Password strength tool: Calculates how long it would take for your password to be cracked through a brute force attack.

• WordPress Salts Security Feature Extended: All-In-One Security adds 64 new characters to WordPress Salts and changes them weekly, making it even more challenging for hackers to crack your users’ WordPress passwords.

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is your website’s first line of defence, protecting your site by monitoring traffic and blocking malicious requests.

CONTENT PROTECTION SECURITY SUITE

Eliminate spam, protect your WordPress content, and your search engine rankings with these important security features from All-In-One-Security.

• Comment SPAM prevention : Webpages littered with spam comments damage your brand, effect the user experience and impact SEO.
  All-In-One Security stops SPAM at the source by preventing comments that originate from other domains. AIOS automatically and permanently blocks spammers’ IP addresses. Site owners can use Cloudflare Turnstile or Google reCAPTCHA to reduce comment spam and block malicious users with just one click.

• Copywriting protection: Stop users from stealing your content by disabling the right-click, select and copy text function.
• Disable RSS and Atom Feeds: RSS and Atom Feeds can be used by bots to ‘scrape’ your website content and present it as their own. This feature prevents that by disabling RSS and Atom Feeds on your website.

LATEST AND GENERAL SECURITY FEATURES

• Audit Log: The All-In-One Security audit log gives Admins a view of events taking place on their WordPress website. They can see if anything strange is happening and detect security risks. For example, you can see if a plugin or theme has been added, removed, updated, activated or deactivated without your knowledge or consent.
