 * Hi [@vipini](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vipini/),
 * If they are failing to login, or they are getting locked out, you can view this
   log at Wordfence -> Tools -> Live traffic.
 * It is possible that Wordfence is preventing your users from logging in, because
   you have enabled `Prevent the use of passwords leaked in data breaches`.
 * That option will prevent them from logging in, if the password they are using
   has been leaked.

 * on the log it just says: “attempted a failed login as” username” etc.
 * we also have google captcha on login and plus jetpack plus s2member plugin
    however
   disabled the jetpack login protection now.
 * Generally users see invalid username error or just “nothing” when try to attempt
   to login.
