What does somebody do when they try to figure out your password for Wordpress account ? They try multiple attempts at your password, and Wordpress allows an atacker to make multiple attempts. Would it not help you if you could get a report whenever somebody makes multiple attempts to access your login account. Here is one Wordpress Plugin that helps you in this effort. The plugin is proactive in these security measures, since it directly blocks access from an IP range if there are a number of invalid login attempts from that range.

Login LockDown records the IP address and timestamp of every failed WordPress login attempt. If more than a certain number of attempts are detected within a short period of time from the same IP range, then the login function is disabled for all requests from that range. This helps to prevent brute force password discovery. Currently the plugin defaults to a 1 hour lock out of an IP block after 3 failed login attempts within 5 minutes. This can be modified via the Options panel. Administrators can release locked out IP ranges manually from the panel.
