  • Hello @trtitsupport ,

    Experiencing “Anonymous User Login Attempts” on your WordPress admin panel is a common issue, as it is a primary target for brute-force attacks. Here are several steps you can take to secure your WordPress site and mitigate these attempts:

    1. Limit Login Attempts
    Use a plugin to limit the number of login attempts. This can help prevent brute-force attacks by temporarily blocking IP addresses that exceed a certain number of failed login attempts.

    Recommended Plugins:
    Limit Login Attempts Reloaded
    WP Limit Login Attempts

    2. Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
    Implementing two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification in addition to the password.

    Recommended Plugins:
    Two Factor Authentication by Plugin Contributors
    Wordfence Security

    3. Change the Login URL
    Changing the default login URL (/wp-admin or /wp-login.php) makes it harder for attackers to find the login page.

    Recommended Plugins:
    WPS Hide Login
    Rename wp-login.php

    4. Enable ReCAPTCHA
    Adding Google reCAPTCHA to your login page can prevent automated login attempts.

    Recommended Plugins:
    reCaptcha by BestWebSoft
    Login No Captcha reCAPTCHA
