Continuous attempts to sign-in to Wordpress site

I'm actually hoping others have this & can advise.

I'm with ventraIP & netorigin.

Within the past four weeks, I'm getting alerts (Wordfence)- of attempted sign-ins.

I don't use the standard username. However, it means it's something trying to guess User/Pwd.

How can I block it?

  • very very common, If you think you've got a secure enough password i would just let it be however you can download login attempt logs and see what they're trying and how often. I use safeapp which gives me a new password every 60seconds or so i believe from my mobile, which seems to have fixed my problem.

    Usually it's ok if your username isn't something very standard like root or admin, but if you're really worried you can always move wp-admin to somewhere else, or/and you can set the page to be IP restricted. I don't do the IP thing because my IP changes once in a while and I just can't be bothered, but that's something to consider.
