Keep getting "Password lost/changed user: _____"

  • I keep getting emails that are telling me “Password lost/changed user: _____” about 5-10 a day. Is this a brute force attack? Is this nothing to worry about? I have multiple large security systems on my site. If anyone has had this issue please any advice will help!

    BTW, it’s a new user every single time. Not just a single user

    there’s probably a bot htting your password reset request.

    Install the free Wordfence plugin and set the options to allow 2 requests in an X minute period, with a 1 day lockout. If you see pattern in the IP addresses, you can just block them.
