Hi.
In the scan results this morning I got this warning:
An admin user with the username ##### was created outside of WordPress. It’s possible a plugin could have created the account, but if you do not recognize the user, we suggest you remove it.
The admin user that the warning refers to is one that I created the night before using the WordPress Users – Add New. The username I created does not contain words admin, or administrator.
Should I be getting this alert in scans for an Administrator Account I created?
I thought this warning was only for admin accounts created by a plugin, in the database directly, or some other means? Not for admins you create manually using WordPress Add Users?
If I ignore this warning will Wordfence still warn me if an admin does get created by a plugin? etc? Same for Marked as Fixed? If mark as fixed is selected will Wordfence still warn me if an admin does get created by a plugin? etc?
Thanks
