| Pros | Firewall rules written to .htaccess; Login lockouts and a security log; Malware scanner and database backups in one plugin | Moves the login page to a custom URL with no core file changes; Restores the standard login when deactivated; Supports multisite network settings |
| Cons | Writes .htaccess files, so a mistake can lock out a site; Setup needs technical knowledge; Paid BPS Pro needed for some automated tools | Hiding the URL is not a substitute for login rate limiting; Forgotten login URLs lock editors out until the plugin is disabled; Maintained without guaranteed free support |
