How do I activate the plugin?
If you already have the plugin installed on your WordPress site, you can skip to #5. If you don’t have it already, we recommend upgrading to our cloud app for advanced brute force protection and site performance optimization.

5. After the plugin has been activated, go to Settings -> Limit Login Attempts and make adjustments as needed. We don’t recommend changing the default settings unless you are an advanced user.
6. If you decide to go with the premium cloud app, you’ll receive an email with setup instructions shortly after your subscription is completed. This includes a Setup Code that you’ll enter into the Limit Login Attempts Reloaded Cloud App area in the plugin settings.
7. If you’d like to add additional domains to your network, you’ll use the same setup code from your first domain and replicate the process. You’ll receive an email from us each time this is done to approve the subscription.
If you’d like to re-enter your Setup Code, click the Edit link next to it:
