It's a brute force and they have been around for years. And they work
against (pretty much) anything. I seem to remember a plugin? from ages
ago which might have given 3 chances then emailed the blog owner. I
could be mistaken.
I posted it here simply because it's got the letters W and P in it which
could cause people to run to the forums. I think it's less to do with
changing the name - my blog is 'admin' - and much much more to do with
password strength.
Seen those apps / online facilities that indicate password strength? One
of those would be cool...
