Redirect Failed Login

Introduction

This little plugin allows you to manage failed login attempts. The latest version can deter hackers by adding a programmable time delay after a failed login attempt. Upon a failed login attempt, you can redirect to a page in your Joomla site, redirect to a completely different site, or not redirect at all (default). Optionally, you can have it display a custom message such as "Login Failed - please try again".

V1.66: For Joomla 1.6, 1.7, 2.5 & 3.x websites.

V1.54: For Joomla 1.5 websites.

Functionality

Has not been updated since 2008 and uses functions that are deprecated in php7. You now may get warning messages and error logs.

Ease of use

Installed in seconds and the error file was easily editable. Does exactly what it says it does; what more could one ask for? This is perfect for the new site I'm working on and I absolutely love the ease of use. Thank you for this plugin!

Excellent support!

I have a joomla-website with 2 languages and I needed to redirect to different pages depending on the language. Roger solved this problem for me very fast. Excellent support!

Another one that should go into the core

What this extension provides should be an option in the core login module. Essential.

(beta J2.5 - no issues)

(I had a case where redirect worked half of the time only. Fixed by using relative link: index.php/page)

Did not work for me on joomla 2.5

Sorry, didn't work for me on joomla 2.5. I didn't want to redirect when user failed login.

I get a error page of url http://www.sitename.com/1

with broken page

I see it still in beta mode for joomla 2.5

Owner's reply: Hi,

Thanks,

Tested on Joomla 2.5 and it worked perfectly for me.

Delayed response is a good security improvement.

Highly recommended.

Very good idea

I needed to redirect the failed logins on the same page in order to give them a chance to retry.

Although the plugin does not do that our of the box, it was easy to change its behaviour this way if the failed login URL is left empty in the configuration.

I also applied the change mentioned below to display the failed login message as a Joomla! standard error message.

I'll submit the changes to the developer for review.

Almost perfect

The message of error on login doesn't work in every templates. That can be solved by creating an article just showing the message of error and then redirect in the module to that article. Another solution would be having the option to show the message using an javascript alert? just an idea...

Another problem is if i register an user, initially the user is disabled in the administration. If i try to login that user it doesn't raise the onLoginFailure event so it shows again the login form in the content pane. What event raises in this case? it should validate this situation...

Excellent plugin and a very necessary one. Congratulations to the developer.

Cheers!
