SKP WP Admin Login Captcha

45 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

About 1,000 active installs is a small but not negligible footprint, and it earns extra credit for niche visibility despite the low raw number.

Update Freshness

10/25

Updated May 2025 and tested against WordPress 6.8.5, so it is current, but the lack of a stated PHP requirement and no recent changelog trail keep the maintenance score modest.

User Rating

3/15

A single 5-star rating is essentially no signal at all, so the ratings component sits very low even though it is technically perfect.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened means either no users have needed help or the developer is unreachable, so we cannot confirm any real support health.

WP Compatibility

11/15

Tested with WordPress 6.8.5 and requiring only WordPress 3.1, compatibility is broad and a clear strength of this plugin.

What It Does

SKP WP Admin Login Captcha adds a captcha challenge, either Google reCAPTCHA or a basic math question, to the default WordPress login screen. It is built strictly for the wp-login.php page and does not protect registration, comments, or other forms. It is a single-purpose, single-page login gate.

Who It's For

This plugin fits owners of small WordPress sites who only need to stop automated brute-force login attempts and want a free, lightweight solution. It is best suited to sites with a single admin or small team who do not need captchas on contact forms, WooCommerce, or registration pages.

Who Should Skip It

Anyone running a membership site, WooCommerce store, or multi-author blog with public registration should skip this, since it only guards /wp-login.php. Sites needing reCAPTCHA on contact, comment, or checkout forms should pick a broader captcha plugin.

The Bottom Line

With a 48.79 overall quality score, thin user feedback, and zero public support history, SKP WP Admin Login Captcha is functional but unproven, and only acceptable for very small, low-risk sites. For any business with public forms, multiple users, or compliance requirements, the top alternatives offer far better protection and trust. Treat it as a stopgap, not a long-term login security strategy.

Pick CleanTalk if you want spam and bot protection across comments, registration, and contact forms, not just the login page.

hCaptcha for WP 91/100

Pick hCaptcha if you prefer a privacy-focused alternative to Google reCAPTCHA and need coverage on forms and WooCommerce.

Simple CAPTCHA with Cloudflare Turnstile 90/100

Pick Cloudflare Turnstile if you want invisible, privacy-first captcha with no puzzles and broad form support.

CF7 Apps – Honeypot, Database, Redirection, Webhook, and Addons for Contact Form 7 90/100

Pick this only if your site runs Contact Form 7 and you want a frictionless honeypot instead of a visual captcha.

SiteGuard WP Plugin 86/100

Pick SiteGuard if you want login captcha plus rename-login, IP lockouts, and other admin hardening in one bundle.
