  • Is it dangerous to use “admin” as your login name for wordpress sites?

    My password is always quite strong (10 character randomly generated with *#($ symbols mixed in) but if they have bots that can try infinity passwords, maybe I need to even randomize my login name?

    If so, is it possible to change the original admin username that I created the Wp install with?

  • If you are running the current version you can call it whatever you want when you install. Otherwise you would have to edit the database directly I believe. If you use a strong password, have never had an issue using Admin.
