Lost your password?” revealing that the username“ admin” is registered and a possible attacker can check passwords with this username to gain access to the installation. This plugin changes the error messages to “ERROR: Invalid user/password combination.” if you enter a non-registered username and/or a false password and makes it more difficult for an attacker to decypher your blog’s passwords. ## Screenshots [⌊Changed error message⌉⌊Changed error message⌉[ Changed error message ## Installation Copy to plugin directory and activate. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Unified Login Error Messages” is open source software.
