Block automated login attempts using hidden trap fields designed to catch spambots without affecting real users.
This add-on adds invisible honeypot fields to the XenForo login form. Legitimate users never see them, but many automated bots interact with them, allowing the system to silently detect and block spam login attempts.
Unlike intrusive anti-spam methods, this approach does not interrupt the normal login experience.
Features:
Bot Trap Login Protection: Uses hidden fields and checkboxes to detect automated login attempts.
Invisible to Real Users: No captchas, puzzles, timers, or extra steps for legitimate members.
Silent Blocking: Bots are prevented from logging in without obvious warnings or alerts.
Detailed Logging: Record blocked attempts for later review.
Attempt Data Tracking: Log information such as IP address and submitted details.
Permission-Based Log Access: Control which user groups can view logs.
Testing Mode: Temporarily reveal hidden fields for testing purposes, with automatic timeout reset.
Log Page Result Limits: Configure how many records appear per page.
Works Alongside Other Measures: Can run with existing anti-spam tools if desired.
Lightweight & Independent: No third-party services, blocklists, or external databases required.
Useful for:
Spam Bot Defense: Stop automated login attempts before abuse begins.
Better User Experience: Protect logins without frustrating real users.
Admin Visibility: Review patterns and sources of blocked attempts.- 🛠 Low-Maintenance Security: Add protection with minimal setup.
