WordPress automatically update username and password

  • Hi,

    I’m using WordPress for one of my website , the issue is after every 2 or 3 days WordPress automatically change it’s username and password , sometimes replace it with an encrypted string or sometime username and password set to test ,

    I don’t know what is wrong because it was working completely fine a month ago , No one is using that hosting and password of WordPress .

    Please do tell me what is the issue or is there any plugin to optimize the issue?

  • Hi,

    You can follow below steps to prevent this:
    – Deactivate all the plugins and change your theme to any default theme that is Twenty Seventeen, Twenty Sixteen, Twenty Fifteen and check if that is happening or not.
    – Now, you can switch to your original theme and check the same (If you still face the issue then there might be some problems with your theme customization).
    – If you don’t face the issue then try to activate plugins one-by-one and check that by which this issue is causing.

    That way you can find the solution and prevent the issue.

    Note: If your site is live then first create a staging environment and check above things in it.

    Thanks,
