Need help with User Management – constant attempts to login to Admin user
-
Please let me know the best way to get rid of constant login attempts to our Admin user. I have created a new user for us to use, as I think this is a computer trying to get into our site. Please get back to me ASAP
I don’t have a site linked to this WordPress.com account

Hi, I don’t see any WordPress.com sites under your account here.
Would you please share the URL of the site you’re referring to?
Once we know that, we should be able to help or at least direct you to the folks who can.

Ok, that is a WordPress.org site hosted with Bluehost, which we can’t help with here.
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
With that said, our plugin Jetpack does offer a feature that will ban people and bots for an amount of time if they repeatedly enter the wrong password, which will help here: https://jetpack.com/features/security/brute-force-attack-protection/
