THE TOP RATED WORDPRESS SECURITY AND FIREWALL PLUGIN
All-in-One Security (AIOS) is a WordPress security plugin from the same, trusted team that brought you UpdraftPlus.
It’s called ‘All-In-One’ because it’s packed full of ways to keep your WordPress website(s) safe and secure.
It includes:
Login security features keep bots at bay. Lock out users based on a configurable number of login attempts, get two-factor authentication and more.
File and database security. Get notified of file changes that occur outside of normal operations. Block access to key files and scan files and folders to spot insecure permissions.
Firewall. Get PHP, .htaccess and 6G firewall rules courtesy of Perishable Press. Spot and block fake Google Bots and more!
Spam prevention. Prevent annoying spam comments and reduce unnecessary load on the server. Automatically and permanently block IP addresses that exceed a set number of spam comments.
Audit log. View events happening on your WordPress website. Find out if a plugin or theme has been added, removed, updated and more.
WHY ALL-IN-ONE SECURITY?
AIOS has a near-perfect 4.7 / 5-star user rating across more than 1 million installs.
Great for beginners and experts alike. AIOS guides you logically and clearly through each of its features which are all clearly explained. Security features are marked as basic, intermediate and advanced. Each step increases your security score. Turn them on and watch your protection grow!
We have a large support team of software developers. That means we have the availability and the skillset to help you with the trickiest of queries.
We comb the WordPress plugin directory for support tickets daily – most queries are responded to within 24 hours.
Excellent plugin with numerous well-thought-out options for making a website more secure. I have been using it for years and am very happy with it. I recently had a small problem setting up a website and – even as a non-premium user – I received support very quickly. Highly recommended!
For even more ways to stay safe and secure, upgrade to AIOS Premium – it packs a punch security-wise, whilst being extremely cost-competitive.
LOGIN SECURITY
Two-factor authentication (TFA) – Require TFA for specific user roles. Supports Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, and many more.
Detect and manage ‘admin’ usernames – Identify default ‘admin’ usernames and guide users to change them to protect against brute force attacks.
Identify and correct identical login and display names – Detect cases where the display name matches the username and provide guidance to improve login security.
Prevent user enumeration – Block unauthorised access to URLs that can reveal sensitive information such as usernames or other details.
Control login attempts – Prevent brute force attacks by limiting the number of failed login attempts. Choose how many login attempts are allowed, set lockout durations, and more.
Force user logout – Automatically log out users after a specified period of time. Unattended sessions are closed, reducing the risk of unauthorised access.
Manually approve new registrations – Review and approve new user registrations to prevent spam and fake sign-ups.
Enhance WordPress salt security – Adds 64 extra characters to WordPress salts, rotating them weekly. Makes cracking passwords virtually impossible, even if your database is stolen.

Monitor and manage active sessions – If a user is logged in who shouldn’t be, log them out or add them to a blacklist.
SPAM PREVENTION
Block spam coming from bots – Reduce the load on your server and improve the user experience by automatically blocking spam comments from bots.
Monitor spam IP addresses – Monitor the IP addresses of people or bots leaving spam comments. Choose which ones to block based on a configurable number of comments left.
FILE / DATABASE Security
Scan and fix file permissions – Scan for insecure file permissions. Click once to fix issues and safeguard critical files and folders.
Disable PHP file editing – Disable editing of PHP files (such as plugins and themes) via the dashboard. It’s often the first tool that attackers use as it allows for code execution.
Protect sensitive files – Prevent access to files like readme.html that might reveal information about your WordPress installation.
File change scanner – Get notified of any file changes which occur on your system. Exclude files and folders which change as part of normal operations.
Prevent image hotlinking – Prevent other websites from displaying your images via hotlinking and protect server bandwidth.
Secure database backups – Perform a database backup via UpdraftPlus from AIOS. Change the default ‘wp_’ prefix to hide your WordPress database from hackers.
FIREWALL
Get .htaccess firewall rules – Deny access to the .htaccess and wp-config.php files. Disable the server signature and limit file uploads to a configurable size.**
Block access to the debug.log file and prevent Apache servers from listing the contents of a directory when an index.php file is not present
Get PHP firewall rules – PHP firewall rules prevent malicious users from exploiting well-known vulnerabilities in XML-RPC. Safeguard your content by disabling RSS and Atom feeds and avoid cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
Block fake Google bots and POST requests made by bots – Block fake Google bots and stop bots from making POST requests by blocking IP addresses where the user-agent and referrer fields are blank.
Utilise 6G firewall rules – Employ flexible blacklist rules to reduce the number of malicious URL requests that hit your website (courtesy of Perishable Press).
And more – Blacklist (and whitelist) IP ranges and user agents and block unauthorized access to data by disabling REST API access for non-logged-in requests.
TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION ENHANCED [Premium]
Two-factor authentication is included in the free plugin. Upgrade to Premium if you’d like to:
Require TFA after a set time period – Mandate TFA for all admins or other roles after their accounts reach a specified age.
Control how often TFA is required – Set TFA to be required after a certain number of days on trusted devices instead of every login.
Customise design layout – Adjust the TFA design to match your website’s existing layout and branding.
Emergency codes – Generate one-time use emergency codes to regain access if you lose your TFA device.
WordPress Multisite Compatible – Ensure compatibility with WordPress multisite networks and their sub-sites for consistent TFA application.
Integration with login forms – Integrate TFA with various login forms, including WooCommerce, Affiliates-WP, Elementor Pro, bbPress, and ‘Theme My Login’ without additional coding.
SMART 404 BLOCKING [Premium]
Block IPs based on 404 errors – Detect hackers probing your URLs via script and bots by the 404 errors they leave behind.
Smart 404 Configuration – Set a figure for the maximum number of 404 events allowed before an IP address is blocked. Choose a time period within which the 404 events must occur (e.g., 10 errors within 10 minutes).
Smart 404 block by URL string – Instantly block an IP address if a 404 event includes a specific URL string.
Smart 404 whitelisting – Prevent particular IP addresses from being permanently blocked due to 404 events.
COUNTRY BLOCKING [Premium]
Block traffic to the entire site or to specific pages or posts – Useful if you’re an e-commerce site and you want to block sales to some countries for shipping or tax reasons.
Whitelist some users from blocked countries – Whitelist IP addresses or IP ranges even if they are part of a blocked country.
MALWARE SCANNING [Premium]
Automatic malware scanning – Detect and protect against the latest malware, trojans, and spyware.
Alerts you to blacklisting by search engines – Monitor your site for blacklisting by search engines due to malicious code.
Response time monitoring – Keep track of your website’s response time to identify and address any performance issues.
Uptime monitoring – Checks your website’s uptime every 5 minutes and alerts you immediately if your site or server goes down.
Advice and malware removal – Need hands-on advice and support for malware removal? Our team of genuine cybersecurity experts is here to help.

Întrebări frecvente
-
How is All-In-One Security (AIOS) supported?
-
Customers of ‘Free’ AIOS can get support from this very webpage. Select ‘Support’ from the tabs above and post a topic. We aim to respond to all support requests within 24 hours during the working week.
-
Is All-In-One Security compatible with other plugins?
-
Yes. AIOS works smoothly with most popular WordPress plugins.
-
Is All-in-One-Security regularly updated?
-
Yes. WordPress Security is something that evolves over time. We update AIOS with new security features (and fixes if required) on a regular basis so you can be assured that your site will keep benefitting from new security protection techniques for as long as you need them.
-
Will All-In-One Security slow down my website?
-
No.
-
The decision is yours to make. ‘Free’ AIOS incorporates a web application firewall, comprehensive login security tools including two-factor authentication and all the latest recommended WordPress security practices and techniques.
But if your WordPress site is a business website, if it showcases what you do, or who you are, we generally recommend AIOS Premium. Prices start from as little as $70 for the year. -
AIOS Premium scans your WordPress website for malware whilst also monitoring your site’s response time and uptime, notifying you of any issues within 24 hours, AIOS Premium customers also benefit from hands-on ticketed support via email (rather than via WP Support forums).
Additional security tools include Country Blocking, Smart 404 Error Blocking and Advanced Two Factor Authentication.
More information is available from our All-In-One Security website
More information is available from our All-In-One Security website -
In the web shop, purchase your preferred subscription. After completing the purchase, you will be emailed a link to download the plugin. You can also access the link through your „My Account” page.
After downloading the zip file, install and activate the plugin through WP Admin->Plugins->Add New->Upload Plugin.
The premium extends the free version. Therefore you should keep the free version installed and active. You will also be prompted to enter your AIOS username and password to connect your site to licenses. This will allow the plugin to receive updates. -
Yes, you need to have the free version of the plugin installed and activated before installing Premium. Premium plugin is an add-on that requires the free version to be present.
-
Does All-In-One Security work with multi-site network installations?
-
Yes, AIOS Premium is compatible with WordPress multisites. For multisite networks, the protection will apply to the network as a whole, and the dashboard and options will be available on the main site of the WordPress multisite.
-
Can a WordPress security plugin stop all attacks on my site?
-
There is no 100% guarantee that a security plugin will be able to protect against all attacks, as there is always the possibility of unknown WordPress vulnerabilities or other unexpected factors, and attackers are always seeking to develop new ways around protections. However, All-In-One Security gives good protection against known attack methods, and is under continuous development to monitor and improve protections.
-
Does All-In-One Security work on all servers and hosts?
-
AIOS should be compatible with most hosts, unless the host has specifically restricted the use of security plugins. Similarly, certain features may not work on some servers, especially Windows/IIS platforms. Features that use the ‘.htaccess’ file will not apply on a Windows IIS server or NGINX server (but development is ongoing to port those protections to all servers).
-
Development and test sites require their own licence if updates to the plugin are needed.
However, these sites can be disconnected from the licence when they have served their purpose. You can disconnect the licence via the site’s WP Admin->Plugins page, and it will be available to be reassigned to a different site. -
Is the All In One Security & Firewall Plugin GDPR and other privacy law compliant?

5.2.0 – 10/Jul/2023
- SECURITY: Remove authentication data from the stacktrace before saving to the database. This defect meant that a site administrator had the potential, between releases 5.1.9 to 5.2.0 (which purges the existing data), to know what site users’ passwords are. This information has limited value (an admin can already reset anyone’s password) except insofar as the passwords may be re-used by users on other sites. In that „hostile admin” scenario, your site has other problems (since the hostile admin has a whole raft of equivalent ways of causing mischief to users, especially if not on multisite where a site admin is potentially not a super admin and may not be able to install or configure plugins). This changelog has been expanded in response to incorrect reports which suggested a wider problem (for example, they did not mention that the attacker needs to already be logged in as an admin to read the log, or that upgrading to 5.2.0 deletes the affected data).
