 * Hi
    my website is closed and I’m using a coming soon plugin that redirects all
   pages to ‘coming soon’. There is a user (I think a bot) who is creating accounts.
   I’m not sure how! I tried rolling back to a backup (all in one wp migration) 
   from a week ago, and still facing the problem. I also deleted the WordPress and
   installed the backup on a fresh WordPress on my same domain and the problem still
   exists. You can check the screenshot to see the user and the domain. [Screenshot of the user name and email](https://prnt.sc/1kbuqcv)
   Any help please?

 * You can disable your user-registration by routing to Settings > General and then
   do the following:
 * Search a checkbox that says “Anyone can register” Uncheck this, so nobody can
   register on your blog. Now when someone accesses the login page, there will no
   longer be a “Register” link they can use.

 * Thank you. I tried that. it does stop them from creating accounts, but unfortunately
   this doesn’t resolve my issue since I want to open registration soon when I’m
   done with the design.

 * Try anti spam plugin’s or integrate google recaptcha on registration page
