How to Change Your WordPress Admin Username

Change your WordPress admin username to enhance security, thwart brute force attacks, and protect privacy. Common usernames (like “admin”) are vulnerable, so use unique names. You can't edit usernames directly; instead, create a new admin user, use a plugin, or modify the database via phpMyAdmin. Optimize security further with strong passwords, regular updates, and a security plugin like Jetpack for features like backups and malware protection. Always document changes and check access post-update. Changing usernames won’t affect SEO or content.
