Frequently Asked Questions
Can I disable specific features?
Yes. You can enable or disable each feature from the settings page under Tools → NHR Secure.
Does it limit login attempts?
Yes. Repeated failed login attempts from the same IP will be temporarily blocked to prevent brute-force attacks. You can configure the limit (1-20 attempts) from the settings page.
How do I access the settings page?
Navigate to Tools → NHR Secure in your WordPress admin dashboard.
How does 2FA work?
2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) adds an extra layer of security to your WordPress site. When enabled, users must enter a code from their 2FA app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy) in addition to their username and password to log in.
What is the default custom login URL?
The default custom login URL is /hidden-access-52w. You can change this in the settings page under Tools → NHR Secure.
