GuardianKey for WordPress

Painless authentication protection for your site.
Free native plugin for WordPress.
Easy deployment, just install and use!

How the plugin works

The GuardianKey plugin for WordPress sends events to the GuardianKey engine on each login attempt.

GuardianKey returns a risk level and a suggested action (ACCEPT, NOTIFY, HARD-NOTIFY, or BLOCK).

The plugin can notify your users about accesses in their accounts. Also, high-risk attempts can be blocked.

Notified users can tell if the attempts were legitimate or not. In the affirmative case, GuardianKey learns for future analysis, otherwise, your security team can be notified.
