Wordfence on "[Plugin: Wordfence Security] Can I see the passwords used in failed login alerts?"

Me too. In fact we really wanted to add this feature when we first created Wordfence.

But the problem is that one of your customers or you might accidentally mistype your password, and then it gets sent via email as an alert. A hacker might realize what you meant to type if they see that email and gain access to your account.

So we chose to not implement this for security sake.

Regards,

Mark.
