Issue with WordPress 5.1.1 and WPEngine hosting [RESOLVED]

I just found and resolved an issue when using WordPress 5.1.1 on WPEngine hosting. I’m not sure but it may affect more than WPEngine so I figured I would share in case it helps. WPEngine has a security auditor code that with the 5.1.1 upgrade expects the full three arguments to the wp_login action. To get around the issue, the two places in the plugin that call:

do_action( ‘wp_login’, $user->user_login );

need to be modified to be:

do_action( ‘wp_login’, $user->user_login, $user );

Hopefully this will help someone else that runs into the issue.
