    With the checkbox setting ‘Automatically generate username from customer email’ enabled, does this allow creation of a user with the username ‘admin’ if, say, their email address is [email protected]?

    I’m looking to harden security on a client site and there are existing users with usernames ‘admin’, ‘admin1’, ‘admin2’ etc. that have Site Role: Customer.

    They don’t have Administrator role and presume a decent password was enforced at time of creation but allowing ‘admin’ as a username just feels uncomfortable – is it best to create new usernames for these Users via the DB as a precaution (as usernames cannot be changed on the regular backend)?

  • @lunamedia You can do this from the PHPMyAdmin go the wp_users table at there you will see the ‘user_login’ column change the username there according to your need.
