Wordpress:How to Disable login "hints" from hackers

So today i will be teaching you guys this tutorial,

How to prevent hackers from gaining access to your account from the Hints generated login error message.

And i will also show you how to login to your WordPress with out Password.its easy
Lets get started.

Disable login error message

Hackers can gain access to you WordPress from the login error they get from the message (hints)

this is not the Right password for the Username FORGOT PASSWORD

oops thats not the right password, please try again

They can manipulate that and gain total access to your account

When a hacker enters a random username or just guessed and an error message pops out

saying oops that's not the right password or this is not the "Right password" for this username

As some case maybe

If it shows the above error message,
They have succeeded in guessing your User name,
And can move on,

This is how a wrong username message error looks like

The error message

we don't seem to have an account with that name.double check the spelling and try again.

It shows the user name has not been guessed yet,
And the hacker will keep on until a username is matched

but by disabling that error message anytime a wrong input of password occur,
It will make it hard to guess even while it was guessed.

Procedures

add this code to your file or a site-specific plugin also it can be added to your theme’s functions.php


function no_wordpress_errors(){ return 'Something is wrong!'; } add_filter( 'login_errors', 'no_wordpress_errors' );


So anytime a user name is guessed or Input of wrong username occurs, it simply RETURNS SOMETHING IS WRONG
Rather than the error message that can make up easy guess

it shows this

Wooolaaaaa you kinda pretty save for now,

but that doesn't save you from. A much more Sophisticated hack so always watch out and take note in order for your account not to get compromised

How to login with the Email function

Its easy like saying Jack lol
Incase you forgot your login details,your password you wished to use the Email function to log in,

YOU CAN ALSO DISABLE LOGIN THROUGH YOUR WORDPRESS FOR SECURITY REASONS, and switch to email login

It implies anytime you want to login you have to Request for a login link from wordpress to your Email to have access to your account.

Click on the Email login

You will receive a Login message from wordpress.com telling you to login through the WordPress login button,

Now you can login to your wordpress without the input of your password
Its easy.
