    Hello!

    I like to know are there any way to check, if someone try to log-in my blog (hacker) and if he/she fails to log-in. How do I check he/she used user name and passwords? Currently I use WordFence plug-in, looks like it’s not supporting that type of feature.

    Thanks!

    This can be done at the server level – consult your web host as techniques vary.

    I’ve had a fair amount of success with monitoring failed login attempts on a couple of sites that were becoming problematic by using this plugin: ThreeWP Activity Monitor

    Take a minute to read the description of the activity that it logs to your dashboard and see if it might be a solution that would work for you.

    There is also a plugin that will let you limit the number of failed login attempts within a given time frame, if that’s of any interest at this point. I’ve used this one successfully as well.
