  login attempts. Generally, WordPress allows the
  user to try login as many times as they want but
  this makes your website more vulnerable to brute

  the Login Lockdown plugin. However, if you have a
  firewall set up than it is taken care of
  automatically.

  a smart CMS WordPress by default updates the
  minor releases but for major updates, you have to
  do them manually. These WordPress updates play an
  important role in the security and stability of
  your Website. Ignoring the manual updates may
