Looking for the best WordPress login page plugins for your website? The login page is the door to your website’s admin area. You need to make it secure while making it easy for users to login. In this article, we have hand-picked some of the best WordPress login page plugins that you can try.
Improving Security and Appearance of WordPress Login Page
The default WordPress login page is very plain and looks the same on all WordPress sites. If you run a multi-user WordPress site, then you may want to customize it.
You may also want to make the login experience on your website as seamless as possible without compromising on WordPress security.
Having said that, let’s take a look at some of the best WordPress login page plugins to improve the login experience and security on your website.
1. WPForms
WPForms is the best WordPress form builder plugin, and it comes with a powerful user registration and login addon. It allows you to create your own custom user registration and login forms with a few clicks. You can add these forms anywhere on your WordPress site.

2. Theme My Login

3. Temporary Login Without Password
Want to give temporary access to a developer for your WordPress site? Temporary Login Without Password allows you to give temporary access to users without creating an account for them. You can set an expiry date or time for the temporary login or delete it at any time.
For detailed instructions, see our guide on how to create temporary login for WordPress.
4. Login Lockdown
By default, WordPress does not lock users out if they try the wrong password multiple times. This allows hackers to crack your password using automated scripts. Login Lockdown allows you to limit the number of failed login attempts. After that, it locks down the login screen for that user for a limited time.
For details and set up instructions, follow our guide on on how to limit login attempts in WordPress.
5. Nextend Facebook Connect
Want to add login with Facebook button to your WordPress site? Nextend Facebook Connect plugin allows you to easily add login with Facebook to your WordPress login screen. This allows your users to login more quickly, and they will not need to enter a password.
See step by step instructions in our guide on how to add login with Facebook in WordPress.
6. Remember Me
If you forget to check the ‘Remember me’ option on the login page, then WordPress will forget your login as soon as you close the browser window. Remember Me plugin allows you to automatically check the remember option each time you login to your WordPress site.
See how to set it up in our guide on how to keep WordPress from forgetting you with Remember Me.
7. Custom Login Page Customizer
The default WordPress login screen is quite plain looking. You can change it in various ways but many of them require you to add code. Custom Login Page Customizer plugin allows you to design your own custom login page using theme customizer.
See detailed instructions in our guide on how to customize WordPress login page.
8. WP Security Questions
WP Security Questions allow you to add security questions to your WordPress login screen. Users will not only have to add their password, but they will also have to select a security question and enter their answer. This adds another security layer to your WordPress admin area.
Learn how to set it up in our guide on how to add security questions to WordPress login screen.
9. No Login by Email Address
By default, WordPress allows users to enter their username or email address to login. Some users believe that email address is common knowledge (anyone you email has your email address). This could potentially make it easier for someone to brute-force their password. This plugin allows you to disable login with email address feature in WordPress.
For more on this topic see our article on how to disable login with email address feature in WordPress.
10. Prevent Concurrent Logins
If you use WordPress to sell courses online or run a membership website, then this means users can share their passwords with friends, and you could lose new business. Prevent Concurrent Logins automatically kills user session if a password is used while the user is still logged in.
Learn more about it in our guide on how to stop users from sharing passwords in WordPress.
11. LinkedIn Login

Sometimes your users may forget to logout, close browser window, or could accidentally check the remember me option on a public computer. This means that anyone using that computer can access your WordPress site. Idle User Logout allows you to automatically logout a user if they have been idle for a specific time.
For more details see our guide on how to automatically logout idle users in WordPress.
15. WP Last Login
