Potential Security Breach

    I have a fairly complicated login using an auto-generated password as the login name, and also an auto-generated password.

    I would think fairly hard to guess, however, today when checking the security logins, there is an attempt to login using the auto-generated login name.

    Any ideas on how this could happen?

    Thanks,

    Thanks, this feature has been enabled since installing WP-Security which was a long time ago.

    Any other recommendations? I find it odd that a very complicated username can be found and someone is trying to get into our account with it. The password is also complicated but I think they will keep trying.

    Hi, have you also enabled any of the brute force features like Rename Login Page?

    No, but I will do that now.

    Updated the brute force Rename Login Page.

    Hopefully that fixes it.

    Thanks
