Login Obfuscator makes your login responses more unpredictable to brute-force bots. It adds a subtle security layer by sending an HTTP 403 Forbidden status on failed login attempts, confusing automated attacks that expect standard 200 or 302 responses.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin is simple and silent:\n* No configuration required\n* No user interface\n* Works automatically on activation<\/p>\n\n

Why it works:\n* Bots rely on predictable responses (200 = fail, 302 = success)\n* A 403 status confuses many automated scripts\n* Some bots slow down or stop attacking altogether<\/p>\n\n\n
