I need something simple like it will not let me try the password in 10 min or it will redirect me to another page. So people can not keep on trying for the password on some of my sites. Anyone have a free script like that?
It's actually not as trivial as you think. You at least have to log IPs/Hostnames to a database, as well as failed attempts, and for extra measure use a cookie as well, then when the login page is accessed, you check previous attempts. OR, you can simply block an account (nobody could log in), after 3 failed attempts.
