    Hi @jscheid,

    Wordfence mostly keeps an eye on invalid username sign-ins, brute-force attempts or alerting you of admin activity such as logins from new locations/password reset requests.

    User account creation is handled through WordPress itself or third-party membership/commerce plugins, but I would ensure WordPress > Settings > General has “Anyone can register” unchecked along with Subscriber (rather than Administrator) being the “New User Default Role”.

    It may also assist against the creation of spam accounts to enable reCAPTCHA on login and registration pages: https://www.wordfence.com/help/login-security/#captcha-options

    I hope that helps you out!

    Peter.
