Protect Your WordPress Site from Brute-Force Attacks and Unauthorized Access.
Your WordPress website is a valuable asset, and it deserves robust protection. Guard Dog is the all-in-one security plugin designed by a fellow developer to bring high-end, customizable security features to every WordPress site—completely free of charge.
Core Features That Stand Guard
Guard Dog offers a powerful, yet easy-to-use, suite of tools to fortify your login and administration areas.
| Feature | What It Does for You |
| Custom Login URL | Immediately hide your default /wp-admin and /wp-login.php pages from automated bot and brute-force attacks. A hidden login is a safe login. |
| Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) | Add a critical layer of defense. Uses TOTP-based authentication with simple setup and essential recovery codes. |
| Multiple CAPTCHA Providers | Choose your protection! Support for Google reCAPTCHA (v2/v3), hCaptcha, and Cloudflare Turnstile, allowing you to select a solution that matches your privacy preferences. |
| Login Attempt Limiting | Stops brute-force attackers dead in their tracks by intelligently locking out users after too many failed login attempts. |
| IP Access Control | Use whitelists and blacklists to specifically allow or deny access based on IP address, giving you total control over who can reach your site. |
| Activity Monitoring | Keep a close eye on security events with comprehensive logging. Know who is accessing your site and when. |
| Temporary User Access | Need to grant a developer or client temporary access? Create secure, time-limited user accounts that automatically expire. |
