    Hello I receive this message:

    WARNING: Your login has been allowed because you have previously logged in from the same IP, but you will be blocked if your IP changes. The password you are using exists on lists of passwords leaked in data breaches. Attackers use such lists to break into sites and install malicious code. Please change your password. Learn More

    I receive the message even after I change the password.

    What should I do?

    Thank you!

    Hi @groovyq,

    Without wanting to expose your password to find out, firstly ensure it isn’t too similar to the other one. We usually recommend a long, complex password that differs from any other site you sign into. Naturally, a password manager is the best option for this kind of strategy but it certainly pays off should one site you have an account with be compromized.

    Secondly, I think you may need to run another full Wordfence scan in order to suppress the message. These checks are only run around 72 hours apart when a scheduled full scan takes place, but you can run them manually from the Wordfence > Scan page.

    Thanks,

    Peter.
