    Hi Guys,
    It’s been crazy how many brute attempt login attacks I’m having. Russia, France,Switzerland,Ukraine you name it…
    They even got my username right, and my username is not easy to guess(is not admin)
    Please let me know what to do. Block IP, country or what should i do.

    Thank you and I appreciate your help.

    Hi,

    You can choose more strict limits under the “login security options” section of the Wordfence options page, or manually block IPs if you see some that are reoccurring. Often, attackers will pick up usernames from the theme if it uses your username anywhere (sometimes even in the class on the body element, if it’s not visible on the page).

    The premium version of Wordfence has additional options, like country blocking or cellphone sign-in (two-factor authentication). More details are available at https://www.wordfence.com/
