Still having frequent failed login attempts

    Hi,

    I’ve been using WPS Hide Login for a few weeks now. While the number of failed login attempts is indeed lower than without, the Limit Login Attempts plugin still shows a few dozen failed login attempts within a short period of time every other day or so. I’m pretty sure that my site has not been hacked, and I have changed both the login page slug and the administrator password multiple times since (there are no other user accounts).

    Is there a way to find out if the login page slug might be leaking? The only change made by WPS Hide Login seems to be an entry in the wp_options table. How to find that table in the webspace? Any other ideas on how the failed login attempts could be happening?

    Best regards

    Hello,

    Thanks for using WPS Hide Login.

    Have you put any comment area where users can log in ? Did you disable xml-rpc ?

    Hi, thanks for your reply! Indeed, xml-rpc was enabled, I was not aware of that. Disabled it now and will report back if there are still going to be failed login attempts.
