Max Login Attempts

Description: Sets how many failed login attempts are allowed before a lockout triggers.

How it works: Login Guard increments a counter on failed authentication and locks out when the counter reaches max_attempts.

How to access / configure:

  1. WP Admin → AegisShield → Login Guard.
  2. Find “Max Attempts”.
  3. Set the value and Save Changes.

Recommended setting: Use 3–5 for most sites; use 3 if the site is frequently attacked.
