    My site is flooded with fake users which (I think) use the wordpress login for this. How can I prevent this in the settings of AIOS?

    The site is a forum: This forum uses the wordpress login screen for login of the forum.

    Thank you in advance

    Diane

    Hi @dianedeboer

    You should enable login lockout for invalid attempts. stop user enumeration and xml rpc ping back

    WP security > User login > Login lock out tab there enable login lockout also check “Instantly lockout invalid usernames:”.

    WP Security > Miscellaneous > User enumeration tab check there stop user enumeration and save


    WP Security > Firewall > Basic firewall rules tab > Completely block access to XMLRPC , Disable pingback functionality from XMLRPC Please check both and Save – XML RPC call of wp_getUsersBlogs is trying to authenticate the user which may be issue as bot.

    Also you can enable captcha on login page using WP security > Brute force > Captcha settings.

    Also if you can change the link to the login page for end user you should use renamed login page.

    WP security > Brute force > Rename login page. Enable the renamed login
