=== Unified Login Error Messages === Contributors: Lutz Schroeer Donate link: http://elektroelch.net Requires at least: 3.0 Tested up to: 3.2 Stable tag: trunk Changes the login error messages revealing the existence of a user name to a more secure version. == Description == If you log-in to your WordPress backend and enter the right username but a false password WordPress shows the error message "ERROR: The password you entered for the username admin is incorrect. Lost your password?" revealing that the username "admin" is registered and a possible attacker can check passwords with this username to gain access to the installation. This plugin changes the error messages to "ERROR: Invalid user/password combination." if you enter a non-registered username and/or a false password and makes it more difficult for an attacker to decypher your blog's passwords. == Installation == Copy to plugin directory and activate. == Screenshots == 1. Changed error message == Changelog == = 1.0 = * Initial version.
