 * Basically long story short, all my passwords stopped working not allowing me 
   to log in to my account, had to do a phpadmin reset. Call my hosting and check
   no new files were made. Seems no one enter the site but I still got worried.
 * I really wonder why this happen in the first place
 * also in the process of checking that everything was okay I installed securi to
   do some key restorations and changing passwords for users.
 * My question is, securi has some really useful things I mentioned above that wordfence
   doesn’t has, and wordfence has features that securi doesn’t has, would it affect
   my website performance if i have both? also would they interfere with each other?
 * what are your thoughts wordfence?

 * Hi Erick,
 * I know that there are others using both products together. Our standard recommendation
   is to not use the same features on each plugin at the same time. Doing so keeps
   conflicts to a minimum. Every environment is different, so start with some small
   tests to see if any conflicts exist.
 * Also, make sure your plugins and themes are up-to-date. Security vulnerabilities
   in out dated plugins and themes seem to be the most common way for attackers 
   to affect user accounts.
 * Thanks,
    Brian

 * you know which features not to duplicate? I am not using securi firewall. I think
   that is the only feature that might interfere with wordfence

 * Nothing specific. Just avoid duplicating functionality across plugins. For example,
   if you are using caching from Wordfence, do not enable caching in another plugin.
   Using your example, do not enable another firewall if you are using Wordfence
   for the firewall feature.
