Back-office brute-force protection

Log admin login attempts, lock abusive IPs, and harden PrestaShop back-office access with PrestaShop Security Engine — alongside employee 2FA.

The admin login is a high-value target

Credential stuffing and password guessing against PrestaShop back-office URLs are routine. Even strong hosting rules miss application-level attempt history that merchants can review themselves.

What Security Engine adds

  • Logging of back-office login attempts
  • Temporary locks for IPs that hammer authentication
  • Visibility on the security dashboard next to WAF and other events
  • Optional TOTP 2FA for employees so a stolen password is not enough

Deploy it as a habit

Keep login protection enabled in production. Use unique employee accounts, require 2FA, and investigate lockout spikes. If your office IP is locked during testing, wait out the window or unlock from a trusted session rather than disabling protection long-term.
