User locked out from signing in

Hi @rodipietro

If genuine users on your site have been locked out then you may have set your brute force login attack protection settings too strictly so you can review our recommended settings here:

If you are the only person that has a user account in WordPress then this means that Wordfence is keeping your site safe from hackers attempting a brute force login of your account.

Hi,

I’m the only person that has a user account in WordPress. So is it normal having hackers trying to attack my site? As long as Wordfence is protecting me, I have nothing to worry?

Hi @rodipietro

Thank you for the update.

It is normal for any WordPress website that is publicly accessible on the internet to be attacked.

Here is a blog post explaining why hackers are interested in your site:
