Fixes the Hide Login custom redirect and restores FSE block styles on protected 404 responses.<\/p>","2.4.5":"
The plugin's own blocks (2FA lockout, honeypot, reserved username) no longer count as failed passwords, so a legitimate user is not locked out while using the correct one. Failed logins now show their real reason. Also fixes the incidents table failing to create on MariaDB 11.7+\/MySQL 9.<\/p>","2.4.4":"
Hardening release: the dashboard threat level no longer under-reports an older critical incident, two-factor logins now fire the canonical wp_login cycle (attempt reset, logging, single-session), lockout escalation is atomic under concurrency, notification webhooks are re-validated against SSRF before every send, and CSV exports neutralise formula injection. Verified locally and on a live WordPress 7.0 \/ PHP 8.3 install. Recommended for all installs.<\/p>","2.4.3":"
Security fix: mandatory 2FA is now actually enforced at login for enrolled roles past their grace period (reported by the WordPress Plugin Review Team), without locking out existing users - an admin can reopen the setup window from the Users list. Also blocks TOTP code replay, tightens webhook SSRF checks, and neutralises AI-prompt input. Recommended for all installs.<\/p>","2.4.2":"
Coherence release: cleaner deactivation and uninstall, a confirmation before disabling Two-Factor, faster brute-force lookups, and a heads-up when a front-end login plugin (e.g. Ultimate Member) is active. No behaviour change on standard installs. Recommended for all.<\/p>","2.4.1":"
Fixes a "critical error" during password recovery when another plugin re-fires a WordPress hook with an off-contract argument type. Strict parameter hints relaxed, with internal guards, on every core-hook callback plugin-wide. Neutral on standard calls. Recommended for all installs.<\/p>","2.4.0":"
New: an optional Request Firewall (8G-inspired PHP filter) that blocks malicious requests - off by default, starts in monitor mode (logs without blocking), admins never filtered. Plus a first-run onboarding wizard with a one-click safe baseline. All opt-in; existing sites unchanged.<\/p>","2.3.0":"
Account-security release: Password Policy (length\/complexity + reject breached passwords via privacy-preserving HIBP), Session Management (idle timeout, max lifetime, single session), and opt-in IP Geolocation. All off by default; nothing changes until you enable it.<\/p>","2.2.0":"
New: the AI Security Briefing turns your last 30 days of activity into a plain-language verdict, an IP picture and prioritised actions, on top of a deterministic facts snapshot. Built on the WordPress 7 native AI Client - uses your own connector, no API key stored, runs on click.<\/p>","2.1.26":"
Fixes email\/backup 2FA bouncing to "session expired" on browsers that don't return the verification cookie on submit (some Chrome setups; Firefox worked). The form now also carries the session token, so login works regardless. Recommended if Email 2FA is enabled. Security unchanged.<\/p>","2.1.25":"
Fixes email\/backup two-factor verification being rejected ("session expired") in some browsers, notably Chrome, while Firefox worked. The form is now uncached and authenticated by the signed same-site cookie. Recommended if Email 2FA is enabled.<\/p>","2.1.24":"
Fixes a fatal error (HTTP 500 \/ "network error") during authenticator-app (TOTP) setup on hosts whose wp-config.php does not define AUTH_KEY, such as some Infomaniak installs. Recommended if Two-Factor is enabled. Existing setups are unaffected.<\/p>","2.1.23":"
Fixes the two-factor login screen: the "use a different method" links now work (and email a fresh code when switching to Email), expired\/locked sessions explain themselves, and the authenticator-setup button reports errors. Recommended for 2FA users.<\/p>","2.1.22":"
Fixes a Security Score that under-counted active modules: Brute Force and Detection (on by default) are now scored correctly, so the header, the score number and the module list agree. Display and scoring only \u2014 recommended for all installs.<\/p>","2.1.21":"
Cosmetic patch: cleaner user-agent labels in the Events table \u2014 Jetpack\/WordPress.com clients are recognised, and long agents are trimmed at a word boundary with an ellipsis instead of a chopped-off string with a dangling parenthesis.<\/p>","2.1.20":"
Migration-friendly integrity: a security-key change now shows an amber "Keys changed" advisory with one-click chain re-baseline instead of a false "TAMPERED" alarm. Adds an XML-RPC blind-spot warning when Hide Login is on but XML-RPC stays open. Completes the French translation.<\/p>","2.1.19":"
Clearer attack-type labels + descriptions on incidents, French translation of the visible admin tabs, translatable toast notifications, and a fix for the Activity Log integrity badge staying "UNVERIFIED" after a successful verify. Recommended for all installs.<\/p>","2.1.18":"
Patch. Fixes "Select all" \/ bulk actions when incidents are all resolved (checkboxes now on every card) and only labels the attack vector for XML-RPC\/REST (no more misleading "via login form"). Recommended for 2.1.17 users.<\/p>","2.1.17":"
Feature release. Incidents now show the attack vector (XML-RPC \/ REST \/ login form) \u2014 spot which attempts bypass your hidden login URL \u2014 plus bulk mark-resolved\/ignore. Adds a vector column to the incidents table (auto migration). Recommended for all installs.<\/p>","2.1.16":"
Bug fix release from an external audit. Fixes plain-permalinks compat (Hide Login URL, REST API allowlist), restores activity-log coverage for 2FA, frontend registration and password reset, and extends Honeypot to WooCommerce + frontend login forms. Recommended for all installs.<\/p>","2.1.15":"
Fixes a fatal TypeError when third-party plugins (e.g. WP Fastest Cache) call WordPress URL builders with off-contract argument types. Strict parameter hints relaxed on seven callbacks; return types unchanged. Neutral on canonical WP calls.<\/p>","2.1.14":"
Bug fix. The prevent_author_enum hardening toggle no longer blocks the legitimate ?author=N filter in wp-admin Posts\/Pages lists ("All \/ Mine \/ " links). Public enumeration block unchanged. Three-line fix.<\/p>","2.1.13":"
Bug fix. Silent 2FA failure on installs with permalink_structure without trailing slash (e.g. \/%postname%) \u2014 the verify cookie path mismatched the request path after handle_loaded's normalisation. Fixed cookie path to omit trailing slash. Neutral on trailing-slash installs.<\/p>","2.1.12":"
Bug fix. Hide Login rendered without CSS when both apex and www routed to the same WP (shared hosting). Two fixes: canonical-host 301 in Hide Login + host-aware CSP in Login Page Security Headers. Neutral on single-host installs. New filter login_armor_canonical_host_redirect for opt-out.<\/p>","2.1.11":"
Bug fix for multisite + domain mapping: the Hide Login URL is now host-aware (picks home_url or site_url from HTTP_HOST), fixing a 2.1.9 regression where mapped subsites redirected to \/wp-admin\/ (404). Standard and headless installs keep working.<\/p>","2.1.10":"
Cosmetic fix. The 404 page served when an anonymous visitor hits Bug fix. Hide Login now builds the rewritten login URL from Hygiene release after a full 2.1.7 audit. Three LOW fixes: the webhook stats query no longer warns on fresh installs, the lockout_window option is cleaned on uninstall, and five missing French translations were added. No end-user-visible change.<\/p>","2.1.7":" Preventive: hardens the Email 2FA enrollment flow. Failed Preventive release. Eliminates a latent V2.1.3-style fatal risk in the TwoFactor module. Finishes the uninstall.php cleanup (zero residual data). Surfaces Activity Log integrity coverage scope in admin UI. No new features, no DB migration.<\/p>","2.1.4":" Critical hotfix: 2.1.3 fatal-errored on every fresh install (Class "LoginArmor\\ActivityLog\\ActivityLog" not found). Sites with Activity Log already enabled were unaffected. Recommended for every install, urgent for new installs.<\/p>","2.1.3":" Critical hotfix: Hardening "Hide WP version" was stripping cache-buster from our own assets, so updates past 2.1.0 were invisible behind hosting CDNs (LiteSpeed LSADC, Cloudflare). Recommended for every install.<\/p>","2.1.2":" Critical hotfix: the Settings tab fatal-errored on every fresh install that had not yet enabled the Activity Log module (Class WebhookDispatcher not found). Recommended for every install.<\/p>","2.1.1":" Activity Log integrity: every row is HMAC-signed and chained, detects any tampering. Optional signed webhook forwarding (SIEM \/ Slack \/ Datadog \/ any HTTPS). New WP-CLI verify-chain. Bundles 6 hardening fixes. Migration automatic. Recommended for every install.<\/p>","2.1.0":" Security: 2FA pending token moved from URL query string to a signed HttpOnly + SameSite=Strict cookie. Closes URL-leak (browser history \/ Referer \/ access logs) and DB-leak (clear token no longer in wp_options). Recommended for every install with 2FA enabled.<\/p>","2.0.5":" Security audit pass: REST author-enum scope, optional HSTS, IPv6 subnet fix, 0.0.0.0 placeholder DoS skip, .htaccess admin-rules preservation. No regression. Recommended.<\/p>","2.0.4":" Real fix for the lockout 429 page on hosts with a public page cache (LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, Cloudflare). Recommended after the 2.0.1-2.0.3 sequence.<\/p>","2.0.3":" Hotfix: HTTP\/2 stream termination on LiteSpeed\/LSAPI for the branded lockout page. Recommended.<\/p>","2.0.2":" Critical fix: 429 branded lockout page now reaches the browser. Recommended.<\/p>","2.0.1":" Branded 429 lockout page on the triggering attempt + Reset Stats UI + correct WP.org banner\/icon. Recommended.<\/p>","2.0.0":" First WordPress.org release of the V2 line. Eight independent security modules.

Interface et documentation int\u00e9gralement disponibles en fran\u00e7ais.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Twelve security modules. One lightweight plugin. No premium tier.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Login Armor protects WordPress login, accounts and administration with twelve independent modules. It is built for agencies, freelancers and site owners who want practical security, clear evidence and safe defaults without a remote dashboard, bundled telemetry or upsells.<\/p>\n\n Login Armor also includes guided onboarding, a 0-100 security score, conflict detection, email\/Slack\/Discord\/webhook notifications, a dashboard widget and a complete WP-CLI suite.<\/p>\n\n The optional AI Security Briefing uses your own WordPress AI connector to explain a thirty-day security snapshot or a single incident. It always starts with deterministic facts, works without AI and sends nothing until an administrator explicitly requests an analysis.<\/p>\n\n GPL forever. PHP 8.1+. WordPress 6.8+. Zero dependencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Douze modules de s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Une seule extension l\u00e9g\u00e8re. Aucune version premium.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Login Armor prot\u00e8ge la connexion, les comptes et l'administration de WordPress gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 douze modules ind\u00e9pendants. L'extension s'adresse aux agences, freelances et propri\u00e9taires de sites qui veulent une s\u00e9curit\u00e9 concr\u00e8te, des preuves lisibles et des r\u00e9glages s\u00fbrs, sans tableau de bord distant, t\u00e9l\u00e9m\u00e9trie impos\u00e9e ni upsell.<\/p>\n\n Login Armor inclut aussi un assistant de configuration, un score de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de 0 \u00e0 100, la d\u00e9tection de conflits, les notifications par e-mail, Slack, Discord ou webhook, un widget de tableau de bord et une suite WP-CLI compl\u00e8te.<\/p>\n\n Le briefing de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 IA optionnel utilise votre propre connecteur IA WordPress pour expliquer les trente derniers jours ou un incident pr\u00e9cis. Il commence toujours par des faits d\u00e9terministes, fonctionne sans IA et n'envoie rien tant qu'un administrateur ne demande pas explicitement une analyse.<\/p>\n\n Login Armor est con\u00e7u et maintenu par Fabrice Ducarme de WPFormation<\/a>. Nous l'utilisons sur chaque site que nous livrons.<\/p>\n\n GPL pour toujours. PHP 8.1+. WordPress 6.8+. Z\u00e9ro d\u00e9pendance.<\/p>\n\n Login Armor has no telemetry and requires no Login Armor account. The following services are contacted only when WordPress itself or an administrator enables the related feature.<\/p>\n\n The AI Security Briefing sends a security prompt through the administrator's own WordPress AI connector only after they click an analysis button. Minimised mode sends counts, categories, severities and role buckets without clear IP addresses or usernames. Explicit deep mode also sends IP addresses and event details. Login Armor stores no provider API key. The selected AI provider's terms and privacy policy apply.<\/p>\n\n When an administrator enables an incident notification channel, Login Armor sends the incident type, severity, IP address, target username, event count and site URL to the configured endpoint. The separate signed Activity Log forwarding option sends the event, object, user ID\/login\/role, IP address, description, integrity hashes, site URL and plugin version to the administrator's SIEM or custom webhook.<\/p>\n\n The Activity Log uses WordPress core's Breach Check and the optional compromised-password policy send only the first 5 characters of a password's SHA-1 hash to the Pwned Passwords API. The password and full hash never leave the site. Checks fail soft if the service is unavailable.<\/p>\n\n The separate Email check, disabled by default, sends the user's email address and a plugin-identifying User-Agent to XposedOrNot when a user is created or changes email.<\/p>\n\n IP Geolocation sends a displayed public IP address to ipwho.is when an administrator opens Incidents or Events. Results are cached for 30 days. Private and reserved ranges are never sent, and developers can replace the lookup through the For multisite: Network Activate the plugin to apply it across all sites.<\/p>\n\n If you forget your custom login URL:<\/p>\n\n No. Hide Login always sends a one-time recovery URL to the admin email. If you lose the slug, check your inbox. The plugin also honors No. Everything is lazy-loaded and indexed. On a normal login flow the extra SQL cost is under 2 ms.<\/p><\/dd>\n\/wp-admin\/<\/code> with Hide Login enabled now renders as a proper WordPress 404 (body class error404<\/code>, SEO noindex<\/code> meta, theme 404 template) instead of a half-bootstrapped page. No security or functional change.<\/p>","2.1.9":"site_url()<\/code> (matching wp_login_url()<\/code> in WP core) instead of home_url()<\/code>. Fixes silent breakage on multisite headless, WordPress in subdirectory, and reverse-proxy installs. Neutral on standard installs.<\/p>","2.1.8":"wp_mail()<\/code> no longer leaves a half-committed 2FA state, and a new pre-activation modal forces a real test email + a safety-net check before the user can lock themselves out.
