    I installed your plugin a few days ago. I have spent a few days going thru it and I have one question for now. When viewing the audit log going back to the day I installed it I see that there are warnings for failed login attempts for all the users on the site? Why is that? I goes on for a few days and with several tries for a few of them. And I can promise you that very few of these people have even tried to login in once.

    Any explantation as to why the users show up with these warnings?

    Regards

    Hi,

    It’s likely someone is attempting to login via a brute force attack.

    They likely used the WordPress API to get a list of users on your site and are now trying common passwords.

    You can add the IP’s to the blocklist to try and prevent the login attempts.

    You can also enable a feature such as a CAPTCHA to prevent bots automatically performing the login attempts.

    Best Wishes,

    Ashley
