Too many spam registrations/logins

    Does this plugin have a mechanism to prevent spam social logins? It seems that it is allowing too many account creation in wp_user table of seemingly bots using fake social media accounts. I researched source IP addresses of these fake users. All are flagged to be malicious in some way, such as brute forced attackers, spammers, bad web bots, web app attackers, etc…

    I don’t mind buying an add-on solution for this problem. Is there one? Any setting that I can change to solve this issue?

    Spam users are created from the registration form of your website. You can enable Captcha (using any captcha plugin) there or disable traditional registration form by disabling the option Anyone can register at Settings > General page in admin area.

    Heateor,
    Your answer is great and your plugin is amazing. I disabled the traditional registration in WP Admin > Setting > General as you suggested.
