Privacy
This plugin stores login-related information such as login time, IP address, browser information, session details, and approximate location (if enabled).
For location detection, the plugin may connect to free public IP geolocation services. Only the user’s IP address is used to retrieve an approximate location. Location data is cached to reduce external requests.
Users can remove their personal data using WordPress’s built-in privacy tools.
External Services
If location detection is enabled, the plugin may connect to the following free IP geolocation services:
- ipapi.co
- ipwho.is
- freeipapi.com
- ip-api.com
These services are used only to retrieve the approximate location of a user’s IP address.
PMF
-
Does this work with any WordPress theme?
-
Yes. The plugin works at the authentication level and is entirely theme-independent.
-
Will this log out users who are already logged in?
-
No. Existing sessions are not affected when you add a user or lower their limit. Only new login attempts after the limit is set are blocked. Use the Logout All button to clear existing sessions manually.
-
Is user data exported for GDPR requests?
-
Yes. The plugin registers with WordPress’s privacy tools. Administrators can export or erase a user’s login data via Tools Export Personal Data and Tools Erase Personal Data.
-
What happens if a user is at their limit and tries to log in?
-
They see the custom block message on the login screen and their login is rejected. The blocked attempt is logged in their history.
-
Can I change the session limit per user?
-
Yes. Each user in the block list has their own configurable session limit. You can update it from the Block Users table or from the User Details page.

Registre de canvis
1.0.1
- Security: Geo-location transients are now only created for valid, publicly routable IP addresses. Private, reserved, and localhost IP addresses are resolved as «Local Network» without writing a transient, preventing any transient-flooding vector via spoofed request headers.
- Improvement: Reduced geo-location transient lifetime from 24 hours to 12 hours, limiting stale cache exposure while preserving the lookup-reduction benefit.
- Compliance: Updated ipwho.is and freeipapi.com third-party legal URLs to their current canonical forms in the readme.
