Dealing with a Surge in Login Attempts: Possible Hacking Attempt on My Site

Tags: Security, Web development

Hello everyone! I’m currently working on a WordPress site and facing concerns about multiple login attempts. Has anyone encountered or effectively addressed issues related to unauthorised access or login attempts on a WordPress site? Just a heads up, I’ve already changed the login route from wp-admin to something specific, but the problem persists. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

You have to endure login attempts. There’s nothing wrong or broke about that.

Let’s no confuse login attempts with “unauthorized access.” If they did login you fix that. Just trying to login is not unauthorized access.

Any quick tips to boost login security?
