Protect your site against attacks that leverage password information stolen in data breaches. Block logins for administrators using known compromised passwords.
Data breaches have become all too common lately arming attackers with millions of usernames passwords and other sensitive data. We are unfortunately seeing attacks on WordPress sites in the wild leveraging this info.
Wordfence now includes protection against this specific threat. The feature allows you to block logins for administrators that use a known compromised password. Any administrator using a password previously seen in a breach will need to reset their password to log in. And we keep up to date with the latest breaches as the occur. We’ve done this by integrating our login security with the database provided by Troy Hunt’s version 2 of the Pwned Passwords API. Troy has built a substantial list of hundreds of millions of compromised passwords across hundreds of data breaches. LEARN MORE

Stop brute force attacks permanently by using one of the most secure forms of remote system authentication available.
Two-factor authentication or 2FA adds a second layer of security to your users’ accounts. It requires them to not only enter their password but also a second piece of information only they have access to. An account protected by 2FA is virtually impossible to compromise. Even if an attacker discovers your username and password somehow they still can’t log in.
The new Wordfence 2FA feature leverages authenticator applications and services that support the time-based one-time password (TOTP) standard. There are many of them to choose from on the market
Google Authenticator Authy OTP and 1Password are just a few.
While it’s most important to protect your site’s admin accounts there are plenty of other user roles with capabilities you don’t want to hand over to an attacker. Wordfence lets you enable 2FA for any role you like.

I’ve been using Wordfence for some time now on 6 of my sites. It works extremely well and provides me with the protection from intruders that I need. I’ve only had a couple of minor issues mostly caused by my lack of experience but the support at Wordfence has been great at helping me out of a jam. I highly recommend the plugin and purchasing the upgrade to the pro version is worth every penny. The plugin is easy to install and setup is simple. And.. if your host is GoDaddy it is one of their recommended plugin partners.

My small business WP Site got hacked (built installed and maintained by me) and a cryptocurrency miner was hidden somewhere in my code.
I spent a week trying to eliminate that code and my Host also looked for it without success meanwhile I looked like a jerk trying to mine cryptocurrency from clients and potential clients!
I tried several other WP security plugins and web scan sites but none could find or fix my problem.
I downloaded and installed Wordfence it found and repaired my problem in less than 5 minutes!
I’ve since enabled many of its additional features and have been stunned to learn just how many attempts there are daily to log into my page! No wonder it got hacked. Some jerk even set up a new username for himself!
Anyhow I’ll never have any other WP page without Wordfence and neither should you!
Amazing plugin very simple and very powerful.

I’ve have the Wordfence plugin (free version) on dozens of my personal and client sites for a few years. Easy to install and configure it’s blocked many attacks and I’ve never had a site hacked that had it. On one client site we didn’t use it they got hacked and it was nasty they sell tickets to their events and their payment system stopped taking payments (and gave some customers virus/malware).
Not just one site but the client’s entire hosting account was infected. I contacted Wordfence for a site cleaning and they got on it right away. In two days the site was cleaned and taking payments again. Wordfence running on the sites after the cleaning reported a malware backdoor in my wptwin site-cloning script. I sent the report and the wptwin.php script to the security analyst who cleaned the site and within a few hours he replied that indeed this was a false positive. That was great service and set me at ease that the client’s site had not become re-infected.
