Kinsoft SafeGuard v1.0.0
Login throttling, hardening switches and a security audit log, with two-factor authentication in Pro.
No credit card for the trial. Pro from $4.08/mo, billed annually. 14-day money-back guarantee.
SafeGuard puts the login security basics in one small plugin: it slows down password guessing, closes the common ways of finding usernames, and keeps a log of security events you can search. Your security data stays on your site: no outside requests, no account, no cloud dashboard.
