    ok thanks
    have set to Disable XML-RPC. was enabled.

    So what is we do use Jetpack etc. Does this make the login useless and so might as well not use the alternative one??

    Appreciate the help.

    XML-RPC can be used for the good but also for bad things.
    The feature’s description says it all:

    WordPress’ XML-RPC feature allows external services to access and modify content on the site. Common example of services that make use of XML-RPC are the Jetpack plugin, the WordPress mobile app, and pingbacks. If the site does not use a service that requires XML-RPC, select the “Disable XML-RPC” setting as disabling XML-RPC prevents attackers from using the feature to attack the site.
