Is there any security layer in place to prevent a brute force attack into a password protected blog?

If not, any suggestions that would make a password protected blog more secure than just adding a password?

Hi @bysam! Do you intend this blog to be viewed by others?

If it’s just for your use only, I’d suggest using the _Private_ publicity option, making it so that the blog can only be seen when you’re logged into your account.

Thanks @cjeller1592! I will explore this option, but I like the idea of password protecting something which others can view. I just don’t like the idea that the password won’t stop a brute force attempt to get inside.
