The easiest and most secure way to log in to your WordPress site is coming! In the next major release, iThemes Security will add biometric logins (like Face ID, Touch ID, and Windows Hello) and passkey technology supported by all major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Now website admins and end users can have secure logins without the inconvenience of additional two-factor apps, password managers, or complex password requirements.

Powered by the WebAuthn protocol, these login methods provide an innovative passwordless login experience that is the future for securing sensitive information online, including logging in to any WordPress site. As the future of logins for all sites and apps, iThemes Security is the first to bring it to WordPress as the primary login method.

Never worry about running a vulnerable plugin or theme again.

As you can see from this report, lots of new WordPress plugin and theme vulnerabilities are disclosed each week. We know it can be difficult to stay on top of every reported vulnerability disclosure, so the iThemes Security Pro plugin makes it easy to make sure your site isn’t running a theme, plugin, or WordPress core version with a known vulnerability.

Scans Your Website Twice a Day for Vulnerabilities

Your website’s plugins, themes, and WordPress core versions are checked against the WPScan Vulnerability Database for the latest vulnerability disclosures.

Automatically Updates if a Security Fix is Available

Paired with Version Management, iThemes Security will automatically update a plugin, theme, or WordPress core version if it has a vulnerability.

Emails You if Site Scan Detects a Vulnerability

You can receive an email report if your site is running vulnerable versions of a plugin, theme, or WordPress core. Customize the email addresses that receive scan results.

The Best WordPress Security Plugin to Secure & Protect WordPress Sites

WordPress currently powers over 40% of all websites, so it has become an easy target for hackers with malicious intent. The iThemes Security Pro plugin takes the guesswork out of WordPress security to make it easy to secure & protect your WordPress website. It’s like having a full-time security expert on staff who constantly monitors and protects your WordPress site for you.
