This would be a great feature for WordFence to implement; user verification. I’ve seen this a few times in the past and cleaned up after it, but it would be handy if WF notified of new users being added.

Hi @wtl
You can check “Scan for admin users created outside of WordPress” option under (Wordfence > Options => Scans to include), by this way Wordfence will immediately notify you if an admin user was created by any other way than the default WordPress Users page.

Thanks.
