admin-login-notifier

plugin

2.1.0 • public • Published 3 months ago

Lots of bots (or just rude people) try to login to WordPress sites as the user 'admin'. This plugin records the passwords they use so you can see what sort of nonsense is out there. Mostly it's just fun, but in theory I guess it could inform some sort of real-time security thing. But yea, mostly it's just for fun. By the way, in case you didn't realize it yet, you shouldn't use the username 'admin'.

Admin Login Notifier

Notify a site administrator when someone tries to login to the site as "admin" (the username). The plugin saves the password the would-be login tried to use, which allows the site administrator to make fun of bots. Attempted passwords can be seen in the WordPress dashboard and will be emailed to a site admin once per day.
