I logged into the dashboard and noticed there was an unauthorized user that I would like to remove but not sure exactly how.

I’ve never seen this user before and did not authorize this user to use my site.

How do I remove this person?

I would attach a screenshot but not sure how I can do so on here.

I am using IMG.

Here is the screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/pWNUPXS.png

Hi,

That looks like it is under the failed logins section so none of those users have logged in successfully. It looks like a bot just trying to using a random name to login so there is nothing you can to remove. Am I assuming correctly?

Thanks,
Brian

Yes, exactly.

How do I remove this bot (username)?

You could try this:

Add the username here if it doesn’t actually exist on your site.

On your site, add that username (IsraelNunan) under Wordfence Options->Immediately block the IP of users who try to sign in as these usernames.
