## Beschreibung

Login Gatekeeper adds an extra layer of security to your WordPress login page by
requiring a custom key and value in the login URL (e.g. `/wp-login.php?secret=myvalue`).
You can restrict which user roles require the key, helping to prevent brute force
and bot login attempts.

**Stealth Protection:**
 The plugin does not modify the appearance or behavior of
the default WordPress login page. Anyone accessing the login page without the correct
secret and value will see the standard WordPress error message, even if they enter
the correct username and password. This means attackers cannot detect that extra
protection is in place.

Easily configure your login key, value, and restricted roles from the WordPress 
admin settings page. The plugin also includes a risk confirmation step to prevent
accidental lockout.

**Lost your secret or value?**
 If you forget your login key or value, you can use
the default WordPress „Lost your password?“ feature. The secret key and value will
be included in the password reset email, allowing you to regain access without needing
to disable the plugin.

**Features:**

 * Require a custom key/value in the login URL
 * Restrict login by user role
 * Easy-to-use settings page
 * Prevents brute force and bot login attempts
 * No visible changes to the login page for added stealth
 * Secret and value included in password reset email if forgotten

## FAQ

### What happens if I forget my login key or value?

If you forget your login key or value, you can use the default WordPress „Lost your
password?“ link on the login page. The password reset email will include your current
secret key and value, so you can regain access. If you lose access to your email,
you can still disable the plugin via FTP or your hosting file manager.

### Can I choose which user roles require the login key?

Yes, you can select which roles require the key from the plugin settings page.

### Is this compatible with custom login pages?

The plugin is designed for the default WordPress login page. Compatibility with 
custom login forms may vary.

### Will users know the plugin is active on the login page?

No. The plugin does not change the appearance or behavior of the login page. If 
someone tries to log in without the correct secret and value, they will see the 
default WordPress error message, even if their username and password are correct.
This helps keep your security measures hidden.
