  • Lockdown: This prevents the user from being able to use the login form after too many retries;
  • Email notifications: We’ll report a user lockdown to you via email;
  • Hide lost password: Hides the “Forgot your password?” link from the login form page.

This plugin does not make any changes to core: When you delete/uninstall the plugin, everything will revert back to normal.
