“Failed-Login”

    When hackers try to login to a site,
    we only get info like

    9 failed login attempts (3 lockout(s)) from IP: 45.62.196.11 (or any other IP)
    Last user attempted: cees_kan
    IP was blocked for 24 hours

    It will be nice when also the PASSword that was tried, is mentioned.
    How / where can we set the email notification, also sending the password,
    the hacker? tried to use?

    or (wrong) password is listed in the login attempts.

    This will give insight IF they are on their way, or simply “try”

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    WordPress doesn’t have that functionality built-in, what plugin are you using to limit the login attempts?

    You may be able to request the functionality from the plugin developer, but in my experience, it won’t do any good. Mostly these are just bots that hit any WordPress login page they can find, and they work form a list of common usernames and passwords. It’s almost never a directed hack attempt.
