What it does
Anyone who looks after several WordPress sites knows that login security gets tedious fast. Checking brute force protection on each site means logging in again and again, and settings can drift from one site to the next. This extension moves that work into MainWP, where you already manage your child sites, and gives you one screen for Jetpack's brute force protection across the whole network.
From the MainWP dashboard you can enable or disable protection on child sites, adjust protection settings to suit each site, and apply changes to many sites at once with bulk actions. Jetpack handles the detection and blocking of unauthorized login attempts, while the extension handles the management side. It suits freelancers, agencies and site owners who already use MainWP and want consistent login protection without juggling separate tools.
Best for
- Agencies managing many client WordPress sites in MainWP
- Freelancers maintaining several WordPress sites for clients
- Site owners running a network of Jetpack-protected sites
Features
Central protection management
Configure Jetpack's brute force attack protection for all your child sites directly from the MainWP dashboard instead of visiting each site.
Login attempt blocking
Jetpack detects and blocks unauthorized login attempts on your child sites, helping keep malicious users and bots out of your WordPress admin areas.
Enable or disable per site
Switch protection on or off for any of your WordPress child sites, which makes it easier to keep security settings consistent across your network.
Per-site settings
Adjust brute force protection parameters to match the needs of individual sites, so each one can be set up the way you want.
Bulk actions
Apply security settings to multiple child sites at the same time, cutting down on repetitive manual configuration when you manage many sites.
Built into the MainWP interface
The extension works inside MainWP, so you can manage login protection without extra logins or a separate security tool.
