Have you ever wondered how hackers figure out valid admin usernames before trying to break into a WordPress site?
They rely on a silent tactic called user enumeration, where bots check login pages, author archives, and error messages to confirm who actually exists on your website. Once they identify a real admin username, brute-force attacks become far easier.
To stop this at the source, AIO Login v2.1.0 now includes a powerful User Enumeration Protection feature that blocks these attempts instantly. This means bots can’t harvest usernames, which closes a major entry point and keeps your site far more secure.
What is the User Enumeration Feature?
The new User Enumeration protection feature stops unauthorized users from discovering author site maps, user IDs, comment authors, and user endpoints on your site.
By default, many WordPress sites display an error message that indicates whether a username is correct during login attempts or password resets. This new feature blocks that information leakage entirely. It provides a generic, safe error message, making it much harder for bots to map your user base and prevent brute-force attacks.
How to Enable the User Enumeration Protection?
Enabling this crucial security layer is fast and simple right within your WordPress administration area. Just update to the latest version (v2.1.0) and enjoy User Enumeration protection at no cost.
If you need access to logs to track and block IPs attempting user enumeration, navigate to the pricing page and purchase a plan of your choice. Once activated, you can now enjoy both user enumeration and logs.
For a detailed, step-by-step guide on all the new settings and how they work, please refer to our official documentation.
