Frequency of login alerts
-
Does Wordfence send a login alert with every admin login, and is there a maximum amount of alerts it’ll send over a 24hr period? I have an admin user who logs in and out frequently.

Hello @adamwpmp, and thanks for reaching out to us!
If you navigate to Wordfence > All Options > Email Alert Preferences, you will see a series of checkboxes titled “Email me when…”. and “Alert me when…“.”If you do not wish to continue receiving these admin login alerts as frequently, you can tick both the “Alert me when someone with administrator access signs in” and “Only alert me when that administrator signs in from a new device”, which should reduce the number of these alerts you receive. Alternatively, you can disable those here as well. Don’t forget to press the SAVE button when done.
From this section, you can choose what settings fit best for you. Keep in mind that deactivating most of these notifications may lower your ability to quickly react to an attack or vulnerability.
Thanks,
Mark
