Blocking the ‘Admin’ Username

Preventing 'admin' as a username deters attackers.
Overview
The username ‘Admin’ is commonly used in many WordPress installations and is, therefore, an easy target for brute force attacks. WP Extended helps to combat this with the ‘Block the Username “Admin”‘ module, discouraging the use of predictable usernames and making it harder for hackers to guess your login details.
