2. Features¶
2.1. NEW - Multisite Support¶
Version 4.3 introduces proper support for multisite networks.
2.2. NEW - Block username logins¶
Sometimes it’s not possible to block user enumeration (for example, if your theme provides Author profiles). Version 4.3 adds support for requiring the use of email addresses for login.
2.3. NEW - Filter for Empty Username Login Attempts¶
Some bots will try to login without a username. Version 4.3 logs these attempts and provides an “extra” filter to match them.
2.4. NEW - syslog Dashboard Widget¶
Ever wondered what’s being logged? The new dashboard widget shows the last 5 messages; the Premium version keeps a full history to help you analyse and prevent attacks.
2.5. Remote Tools Add-on¶
The Remote Tools add-on provides extra features without adding bloat to the core plugin. For more details see the add-on page.
