V1.51: Adds 2 important features:
1) Adds a time delay on login failures - to discourage brute force login attacks on your site. The default delay is 10 seconds, you can change the delay in the plugin options. Even if you do not redirect failed logins, you can use this plugin to add a time delay after failed login attempts. This will discourage hackers from trying to hack into your site. The time delay helps to protect both the front-end and back-end logins - just use the default settings.
2) An option to enable/disable clearing of the page cache upon login failure. The default is set to "No" clearing. You can change this to "Yes" if you are using the system cache plugin (page cache) and your redirection messages do not appear because the page cache is showing a stale copy of your redirected page.

Not having any feedback when you fail to log in properly is kinda... lame. This extension fixes that and once you set up a page, you can show anything you want.
I like it.

One of my Joomla sites got hacked so I was looking for something. Searched Joomla forums for Brute Force and a thread recommended this plugin. I installed it and it works. Definitely would discourage a brute force attack with the time delay combined with URL forwarding.

The plugin is just great, solved the annoying problem I had with failed login. Thanks mates for this great plug :)

This solves the nasty caching problem Joomla has and gives you the option to let users stay on the login page if login failed, just what I needed!

Works as stated.
This is a nice little component that should be a part of the core.
I created a static page with a link to reset password and a link to or have your username emailed to you if you forgot it.
I then use this plugin to redirect to that static page.

Thank you for this extension! It's exactly what I've been trying to figure out how to do for the past few days. Works perfectly.
