Limit the number of login attempts possible both through normal login as well as using auth cookies.
By default WordPress allows unlimited login attempts either through the login page or by sending special cookies. This allows passwords (or hashes) to be brute-force cracked with relative ease.
Limit Login Attempts blocks an Internet address from making further attempts after a specified limit on retries is reached, making a brute-force attack difficult or impossible.

I contacted my server host for help because this plugin keeps telling me that my site is under possible brute-force attack.
I change lockout settings to lockout for 4 days following a failed attempt, but this plugin's log was still apparently filling up with failed attempts and lockouts for the same couple of accounts that shouldn't have been possible if it was doing it's job.
So I provided a list of IP addresses to my server host, and they checked logs at the server level and said there was no sign that any of those IP addresses had attempted to log into the site.
I uninstalled the plugin.

With this tool I realize that after two weeks of being live our site has had world renown popularity. Every Continet, evey country and sovergnty has recognized us, yet only 6 out of 171 of our council members have signed on to use our site. Thank you for showing me this.

A good solution if you don't use heavier plugins like WordFence or Ithemes Security.

Installed it to try dealing with brute force attacks and it successfully logs all failed attempts but never locked them out. Yes, it was enabled and set to 3 invalid logins. Lockout period was increased too but they kept coming. Uninstlled.
